Errata 1:
The first 2 Next rows (NR) in the Set-in-Sleeve Yoke section should read:
NR: Knit across one shoulder seam while adjusting markers (move markers 2 sts to the left/right), CO 28 using the backwards loop method, knit across the other shoulder seam & adjust markers, CO 28, place marker. (134 sts total).
NR: Break yarn & starting from one of the sleeve as BOR, knit all sts.

Errata 2:
the increases for the color charts are kfb on both sides of sleeves, not m1R or m1L.
The slanted increases are for the underarm shaping on the body only.

Instructions for “Maura” is for size Small only. It is knitted top-down, in-the-round, with contiguous set-in sleeves & is a fitted
garment with no ease from my body measurements.

It is slightly cropped & falls to a few inches below navel. The sleeves fall to the elbows. Garment is finished with 1x1 ribbings.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate.

Sample size: Small, to fit 32” chest, 26” waist, & 36” hips. It should also fit Medium with ~2” negative ease.

The finished project weighed about 300 g (with loose yarns clipped & not including gauge swatches). For the whole project, I needed about 6 balls of Main Color (MC) & 2 balls of Contrasting Color (CC) listed below. You might want to get an extra ball of MC if you are planning to lengthen the garment or sleeves.
