Notes

Modifications -- changed raglan shaping at bottom of armscye by increasing every row. More rapid increases to mimic dressmaking shape of an inset sleeve.

Used Jan’s Almost an I-Cord bind off.

Calls for fingering weight yarn. I used lace weight with enough halo to fill in the spaces caused by using a lighter weight yarn. It’s perfect -- but I did feel the need to add the grosgrain ribbon behind the ruched sections in order to give them stability. The lace weight yarn made these areas just a bit too flimsy and the grosgrain beefed ‘em up. I love the result.
