Decided will not increase after waist decrease. Stitch count 185 instead of pattern 172. Will continue to knit for another 6” or so and then add a ruffle to result in a tunic length to wear over trousers - see link above.

Raced to the finish line so I could wash and dry on a hot day, in time for my next knitting group meeting.

I decided to remove the frilled hem as I didn’t like it anymore! It took 2 hours to unravel.

First I added in some feature garter rows before a 3 x3 rib him, but it bulged slightly. The 3x3 rib hem was also too tight using a lace bind off.

Unravelled for a second time and knitted a few extra rows in stockinette followed by 3x3 rib hem again. This time used very easy and stretchy bind off from Very Pink Knits, which I can highly recommend. Didn’t bother binding off in pattern as wouldn’t have seen the result in fluffy mohair. Just bound off as for knit stitch. See video https://youtu.be/SbzeEg6XMwM

Jenys surprisingly stretchy bind offs - not used this time, but useful to note for other projects:
