Notes

General
Made neckline rounded in front, no ribbing on shoulders, and ordinary short sleeves with a bit of colourwork.

My gauge was a little off so I cast on for size 6 to achieve something between size 4 and 5.

MC Hibisco, CC1 Loganberry, CC2 Let Me Count The Ways

2.75mm ribbing on body & neckline & sleeves, 3mm colourwork on body, 3.25 stockinet on body & stockinet and colourwork on sleeves.

TCKAL cast-on post: #982

Mods

  • twisted broken rib for 8 rows,
  • alternating MC skeins after finishing colourwork,
  • not increasing after separating front and back,
  • sleeve opening 60 r,
  • no ribbing on shoulders,
  • German shortrows starting on RS, 5 pairs turning 10 st apart,
  • bound off middle 58 st in back for neck,
  • front started neckline shaping by binding off 26 st in the middle on r 50, continued to decrease a total of 16 st on each side over next 24 r, shortrows as in back,
  • neckline 6 r broken twisted rib,
  • sleeves picked up 96 st, 4 pairs of German shortrows starting 16 st past shoulder seam and turning 8 st further along each time, then 20 r plain stockinet + 7 r colourwork + 1 r stockinet + 6 r broken twisted rib.
