Notes

Using larger needles, 9mm, to bring it up to my 47inch size. Makes a nice soft fabric, not loose at all.

Converted to knit in the round.
Did my own side shaping, decrease two stitches each side at the start of each stripe four time, then increase similarly three times before armholes.

Eventually decided on rib armhole bands, looks and feels great, finished photos soon.

Finished garment weighs 546g, not sure how much of each yarn though, so above amounts are a guestimate

Love this, wear it a lot especially at home in the evenings and under my big footy club jacket.
