I used Wild Lime held double as the MC, one strand of each colour as CC1, and Winter Green held double as CC2.

I knit the largest pattern size (45.75”) with extra shaping as below.

Modifications:

• Made 3/4 length sleeves.
• Added A-line body shaping with increases from bust to hip following four vertical lines around the body.
• Added a couple of rows to the stripe pattern to make it symmetrical.
• Changed shaped garter hem to 16 rows of 2x2 broken rib.
• Cast off with *k2tog in back loop, pass stitch back to left needle* worked on the wrong side for a slightly decorative edge.
• Knit front band in CC2.
• Added some short row shaping in front band to make it narrower around the neck.
• Also added decreases in the band following the raglan lines for closer neck shaping.

I think that’s all the monkeying I did ;)

Really pleased with this - the sleeves are a tiny bit close fitting but not a deal breaker. Love the subtle shading of the stripes and keen to see how this unusual fibre blend wears.
