Notes

Great pattern! Modifications: I lengthened the body by 2 inches. I did less waist shaping and worked an extra inc rnd for more ease in the hip--192 sts rather than 188. Did not change to smaller needles for the body rib, because I didn’t want it to pull in.

I knit the sleeves to 10.5 inches before starting the sleeve rib. I worked the sleeve rib on smaller dpns, as per the pattern.

I had to start over on a smaller needle because the neck was too wide. I knit the yoke on US4 and the rest of the body, including the rib, on US5. Sleeves on US5; sleeve rib on US3.

Bought an extra skein to accommodate the extra length but didn’t need it.
