Notes

Final row of crochet edging on 3mm hook. Body knit on 4mm with 3.25 mm needle ribbing.

Swatching on 4mm needle, as I want a cool top, so relatively loose guage for the 220m per 100 gram skeins. Will place extra stitches on front when I mark my side seams.

October 19, 2025

Preblocking width castoff ribbing on 3.25 mm needle edge 31 stitches in 14 cm. Stitch guage changed from 22.5 to 21.5 stitches, row guage about the same, shrinking from 30 to 32 rows over 10 cm.
Will try casting on 231 stitches with alternating cast on for 110 cm hem width.

Started increases for lower bust. Adding 3 inches of short rows for my HH cup bust.

October 28, 2025

Started upper bust decreases when middle back measured 26.5 cm in length, side seam is nearly 3 cm longer than middle back.

October 30, 2025

Extra decreases after armhole decreases on back

Blocking, and will finally add a button, a bit too warm at the moment to be wearing it in the Australian Summer, as it is DK weight.
