Notes

Knitting this top down with a vague idea of the plan to see how far the yarn will get me, or rather, how long I can make the sleeves and body.

Every sixth row is a round of simple stranded dots. Iā€™m alternating skeins because the yarn is hand dyed.

Used lifted increases for the raglan shoulder shaping, which I learned how to do on my Glenmore Pullover.

The plan is for ribbing at the edges.

Finished size is about 44ā€.

For sleeves, started decreasing after 5ā€ on every color work round until 46 stitches remained. Knit 1x1 rib on size 6 needle. I may want to revisit the length of the sleeves after body is complete.
