Notes

Wow that pink is bright! I had to soak the yarn repeatedly before knitting with it, and a lot of dye bled out.

Mods:

  • add short-row shaping at back after stranded yoke to bring the back up. 8 or 10 rows-can’t remember.
  • Unintentional mod was 1x1 ribbing at hem instead of 2x2. Oops! Did the same at sleeve cuffs.
  • Longer MC on sleeve before colourwork, which I wanted closer to the cuff.
  • Instead of a pink cuff I just did a 2-row pink stripe then a black cuff.

Sleeve - pick up 6 each side of center and add a gap stitch to the 62 on hold. Row 1 decrease gap stitch. 74 st. 10th row decrease 2. 72 stitches. Repeat this 3 more times. 66 stitches. After last decrease knit 70 rounds then start color work. 40 grams silver at start. After colourwork knit 2 rows in black on 3.5 mm needles then switch to 3 mm needles. decrease 6 on row 10 to 60 stitches. After row 10 start 1x1 ribbing. Row 6 ribbing decrease 2 at start. Row 7 decrease 2 at end. 56 stitches. Bind off row 10.

106 back stitches. Cast on 14 at underarms to end up with the number for size 38 - 240 stitches after armholes. After that, increased 4 stitches every 10 rows twice. 248 stitches.

Canyon Road numbers 108 neck +54 = 162 = 58 = 220 = 282 = 336. 106 back, 62 sleeve. C/O 8 so 240 body. 3.5 mm needles for body.

Yummy 2-ply has 363 yards/100 grams. Used 2.5 skeins. 56 grams left.
Colour B: Studio sock has 353 yards/100 grams. 55 grams. Used the partial and got into the last full skein.
