Notes

Such a smart and easy pattern!
Bottom-up without seaml!
(Except for shoulder…haha)

Love making it and wearing it!!
Especially love the shape of the bottom curve, which I had a little difficulty in making a beautiful round line when I worked picking up sts for the garter edging.

Gauge:18sts x 22rows (jp needle 11gou)
Measurement:64cm
64cm x 1.8=116
116x55%=64
CO: 64 sts (Cable Cast On )

Increase up to 116sts(100%) on the needle
44cm to underarm
24sts each (21%)for front, 67sts(58%)for back
42rows up to shoulders
Joint the shoulders with Kitchener stitch (メリヤスはぎ).

Edging:
Shoulder--pick up 2sts per 3rows.
MODS:(S2tog, K, psso) once at the underarm on the 5th ridge. Knit 6 ridges of garter.

The whole edge--pick up stitches from the side as follows: (2rows,skip, 2rows,skip, 8rows, skip, 2rows,skip, 2rows, skip) repeat 5+1/2times.
Increase 1stitch at the corner.
Pick up stitches from the back curve like: (10, 1 between the stitches, 10, 1 between, 5).
Knit 6 ridges.
Finish off the sleeves and the whole edge with I-cord bind off, using different black yarn for a humble accent.
