Notes

Plan
Will knit another version of Best Laid Plans using the sizing calculations from Zimmermann’s Seamless Hybrid with Shirt Yoke and the braided pattern inspired by Dreams of Aran

Pickup for back when saddle was about 35cm in total.

Short rows across the top of the back.

2.5mm for rib.

Comments
Very happy with the result. Perfect fit. Too bad that the transition to work from home has reduced the need for work appropriate pullovers.
