Notes

General
Added shortrows to rise neck in back, faded from one stripe to the next, and taperered the sleeves a little.

My gauge is a little off so will have to measure often.

C1 Mango Ice, C2 Rum Punch, C3 Raspberry Swirl, C4 Anthem

Using TECHknitter’s trick for a neater transition from stockinet to ribbing.

TCKAL cast-on post: #258

Mods

  • used provisional cast-on,
  • added six pairs of German shortrows to back of neck before first increase,
  • using lifted increases,
  • adjusting number of r between increases to fit my row gauge,
  • added 6 r to first stripe, 3 to second, 2 to third, and 3 to fourth,
  • fading between stripes: B AAA BB AA BBB A,
  • before separating for sleeves unraveled provisional CO and knit neck ribbing: 6 r twisted rib + bound off with 2st i-cord,
  • separated sleeves from body after 75 r and used provisional CO for underarm stitches,
  • 10 r twisted rib + 2-stitch i-cord BO,
  • sleeves decreased 2 st every 15th r 8 times, added another 6 r to all three stripes, twisted rib 8 r + 2st i-cord BO.
