Notes

MC=top - Pale Patina
CC=Teal Abyss, Teal Twilight, Wild Mustard

I cast on for a size 2 and worked as written until Yoke Section 5 - then did the increases (adjusting for my size 2 stitch count) - to get 316 st total … then worked for size 3 (more rounds before sleeve split, and pattern rounds for size 3 after the sleeve split). Took off the needles and blocked a few times along the way to check the size, the length, etc.

Blocked gauge for the combined slipe-stitch/stockinette = 23.6 st and 42.4 rounds in 4” on size 6 needles.
Size A needle = 6
Size B = 5
Size C = 4
Size D = 3
Size E = 2

Finished measurements:
~35” bust (1-1/2” positive ease - I’m wearing it over a camisole in the finsihed photos)
11” body from the sleeve separation to the hem
15” sleeve length

Absolutely delighted with everything about this sweater!
