Notes

I’m planning on making this a little longer than the pattern - probably not much. I need to do some measuring.

So far, the yarn is knitting up delightfully and a lurve how soft it is.

Loved making this very pretty top. It’s straightforward but you have to concentrate to keep the correct pattern once split for the neck. If you’re used to lace and can read the sts below you’ll have no problems.

I used a different method for grafting the shoulders. It creates a braid along the seam but I liked how it matched with the Latvian braid before the lace. Used other end of the cable needle for the back and knit both st 1s together (tbl of st 1 on needle 1 and tfl of st 1 on needle 2) same again for sts2 and then pulled 1 over 2 as if casting off. And repeated till 4 sts on LH needle and 1 on right then followed Meghan’s pattern.
