As I got to the right front shoulder section, I realized I didn’t have the chart, so I pulled up the pattern file to re-print that page and realized it’s missing there too.

If you go to the pattern in your Ravelry library, you’ll see a separate file for this chart.

Recap and teeny mods

I got closest to gauge with size 8 needles. Halfway their the body, I realized I was knitting with size 7! persevere I like the fit and drape now that it’s done, so all is well.

For the sleeves, I picked up 2 stitches for every 3 selvedge rows, and ended up with 6 too many. Rather than space then out weirdly, I went with it and just decreased 2 near the armpit. I’m happy with the result.

I did not change to a smaller needle at the bottom hem but did use one size smaller for the sleeves and neckband, and one more size smaller for the folded under portion of the sleeves.

I debated on of I wanted to do the turned under hem, because it looked weird in some finished projects. I decided to do it benadryl I like the little flare at the end. The key is to stitch very loosely when attaching to the inside.

Overall, I love how it turned out!
