Quite like how my first one came out, so I decided to do another one, using what I have left from my Olga sweater yarn and also some Drops Belle.
Will do the boat neck as given in the pattern this time, but will probably start with ribbing and smaller needles for the first rows /rounds
Started armhole increases at 12 ridges as my first version at 14 ridges is a tad wide.

Plan to use the edge stiches from the Drops Summer Fan Top for the armholes:
EDGE STITCHES WITH I-CORD:
BEGINNING OF ROW:
Work as follows (= 5 stitches): Slip 1 stitch purlwise with strand in front of piece, knit 1 and work 3 stitches in garter stitch.
END OF ROW:
Work as follows (= 5 stitches): Work until 5 stitches remain on row, work 3 stitches in garter stitch, slip 1 stitch purlwise with strand in front of piece, knit 1.
Continue like this from both right side and wrong side.
Finished back part, started front part (which I will start striping after 4 ridges

Joined into the round, did a knitted cast on for the 6 additional underarm stitches.
Will work k1, p1 ribbing for the underarm stitches for about 8 rounds to prevent rolling.

Did 8 rounds after joining, did ribbing for all those rounds.
