Notes

09-22-2019

To make the bell sleeve less dramatic and less likely to get in water when doing the dishes, I increased every fourth stitch after ribbing on sleeves, then two stitches every inch (one stitch after beginning of round and one stitch before the end of round) 6 times, then every 2 inches 6 times. Length of sleeve was 18 inches. Held 8 stitches (4 before and after round) for underarms. On the first decrease row of yoke, decreased evenly to get the appropriate amount of stitches.

Increased 10 stitches evenly after ribbing on the body because I knew I would be changing the sleeves.
