Notes

Knit size 47.25.

Used US7 for bottom ribbing and body of vest, used US6 for neck and armhole ribbing.

Added 3 extra rows to the bottom ribbing before cable transition, gave me 2” ribbing instead of 1.5”.

Neck ribbing: Picked up 128 stitches.
Armhole ribbing: Picked up 80 stitches.

Stopped cable pattern on upper front and back an inch before the short rows. I probably could have done one more cable cross before the short rows but I’m okay with the plain knit shoulders.

Yarn has been washed, swatching will begin.

3-11-25--On my last lace repeat that includes the increases for the cable section.

3-27-25--Neck band ribbing is finished, picked up 128 stitches.

Armhole ribbing is next.

Finished! Blocking tomorrow. Blocking finished! Can’t wait to wear this!!
