Notes

So far so good. The cast on followed straight away by stockinette is causing the fabric to roll on itself. I hope the garment will lay flat once washed. Fingers crossed.
I am a bust size 34 and made the 31 size as I like a more fitted garment.

The garment turned out to be too small and too transparent so I decided to frog it…
