Gauge:

• 21 sts = 4” in pattern
• Body: 42 rows = 15.5” long
• Sleeves: 13 rows = 4” long

Back:

• I made the top shorter. I skipped rows 6 and 7 and rows 16-23 for a total of 10 skipped rows, so my pattern repeat is 42 rows instead of 52 rows. The top was 15.5” long after row 42.
• The pattern has you work 3.5” even after completing pattern row 52 before starting the back neck shaping so I started my back neck shaping at 19”.
• I worked 7 rows even after pattern row 52/my row 42 before the back neck shaping for a total of 49 rows to back neck shaping and 51 rows to shoulder.
• Back length: 20” before washing, 19.5” after washing, 20” after edging
• Back neck depth: 1” before edging, 0.5” after edging

Front:

• I started the front neck shaping on pattern row 52/my row 42.
• I had some trouble getting the front and back shoulders to match, but I got it figured out.
• Front neck depth = 4.5” before edging, 4” after edging

Sleeves:

• 66 sts should be 12.5” wide but the pattern says to make armholes 6.75” from shoulder which means the sleeves should be 13.5” wide. I sewed the sleeves to the front and back 6.5” from the shoulder seam in order for the stitches and rows to line up, so the upper arm is 13”.
• In the pattern photos the sleeves are sewn in upside down. Not sure if it was a mistake because I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere in the pattern. I sewed my sleeves in upside down.
• I skipped rows 6 and 7 for a total of 13 rows instead of 15 rows.
• Sleeves: 4.25” long before washing, 4” long after washing, 4.5” long after edging

Edging:

• I worked 126 sts around the neck.
• I skipped the round of single crochet for the sleeve and bottom edging and worked the shells into the row of single crochet sts already there.
