Gauge is 24 sts x 32 rows for stockinette as well as for Fair Isle, so I have to recalculate the stitch count for the yoke.

CO 148 sts and increased to 168 sts in first increase round. After short rows section for back increased to 192 sts. Increased to 242 sts before FI and started with 11 pattern repeats in the round, increased to 280 sts in first FI increase round and switched to 10 pattern repeats for the umbrellas. Ended up with 340 sts after second FI increase round. Omitted the decrease round because there was no need to decrease and then worked the raglan increases to end up with the given stitch count for size 38” before seperating the sleeves from the body. After that I knitted the sleeves first because I had to alternate the two skeins for a few rows in the body to prevend a “hard” line between the skeins.

Finish line: 8/4/12, 5:07 p.m. GMT
