Notes

Size 8s 18.5/4”
Size 7s 19/4”
Version 1 Modifications:
Used 7,8,9 needles. Used Picovoli top. Cast on 120, worked until 198 stitches. Followed directions exactly, sizing up when called and doing K4 between knit lace sections.
End results are too long, and I don’t like the knitnpanels in between the lace sections, so I’m ripping out (yay bonus knitting!) and making additional modifications.

Version 2 Modifications:
Used Picovoli top; cast on 120, worked first row purl, continued in knit until 88 in each body section (176). Bound off sleeve, cast on 6, pm, 6, bound off sleeve, cast on 6, pm, 6. (Total 200). Moved increases and decreases to side stitches as they were conspicuous before. Increase to 212 (4 per increase row x3). Did increase row every 1.5”

Start lace at 8 inches from armpit. Remove k4 sections, replace with extra lace panel. (16->20) Chose panel 3 for the extra panel.

Also changed the knit stitch next to any exterior panel yo to a twisted knit. (Most panels have a “knit, yo, lace stuff, yo, sm, k) that first knit and the last knit are twisted in my piece. When I originally worked the piece I found those knit stitches had a lot of gaping, and hope the twist will give them more definition.
