Notes

Yes…. Number 5! I once again used the summer charts.

I followed my notes made on my other hitofudes:

I used two circulars to knit back and forth- so much easier than continually tugging the yarn around one needle.

I did one extra pattern repeat before the sleeve bind off to drop the waist a little.

When using summer charts the the lace pattern stitches DO NOT line up with the pattern above the ribbing until you get to the back placement markers… Then your pattern continues.

If you totally have to remove all markers for some reason and you are confused as to which marker you need to go with to begin the lower body set up round-look for the underarm seam that has the beginning tail of your yarn skein…. Marker goes there. It is the right starting point….. I know from experience

I love the length and swingy fullness so used the following pattern repeats:

3 x chart A
2 x chart B
2 x chart C
2 x chart D
2 x chart E
1 x chart F

I like using tosh merino light in my projects. It wears well and the drape is so nice. It can be somewhat tricky with no dye lots though.

Ps… For reference on length- I am 5ft 4” size 6
