Notes

MC=pool
CC1=grass
CC2=peapod
CC3=cream
CC4=blossom pink
(note that I didn’t weigh the CC before - I have lots left, I’m sure the pattern estimates are spot on - I did use almost every bit of the 3 MC balls noted above)

cast on and worked the ribbing and first increase round with size 3, then switched to size 4 … worked the whole body on size 4, with size 3 for ribbing.

knit as written through the yoke chart, then:

  • omitted 6 rounds before body/sleeve split
  • split sleeves with 66 st (rest on front/back) and cast on 6 st under each arm
  • omitted waist shaping
  • bind off in MC
  • short sleeves ~5” total length, including 13 rounds of ribbing; decr 8 stitches (4 decr rounds) before ribbing - and omitted colorwork

LOVE the finished sweater! bust ~34” (3” positive ease under the arms and 1” at full bust), yoke depth ~ 8.25/9.25”, body ~12”, sleeves ~5”

also love the Palette … I’m wearing a camisole under the sweater and it feels great. also blocks beautifully.

Had a great time knitting this - the pattern is so clear, the colorwork is intuitive and FUN, and well … the finished piece is perfect.
