Doing a mishmash of sizes. Cast on 190 sts (as for XL).
64 rows for body before armhole shaping.
Five 2.5” tubes of 8/0 beads - Toho 29BF.
First tube of beads had 333 beads in it.
Save 21 beads for the latter half of Chart B and 301 beads for Chart C (per side).
Bead math suggests I can squeeze in 10 repeats of Chart B (rows 1-12) on each side and still have enough for the rest.
