Now onto mine….

I’m starting with the number of stitches for the XL and then will decrease back to the L size by the time I get to dividing for the fronts and back. I tried on the L size I made for my sister, and it fits perfectly, except the pleat opens up at the bottom on me. So… A little wider at the bottom. Haha.

Although, by doing a 3 needle bind off on the shoulder you use a few more stitches from the centre back, so I might leave a few more stitches. I need to do some maths.

I also made the front band 4 stitches wider because I’m doing a bigger size and I think it will look better. And I made the band 172cm long (68 inches).

Notes:
Body - 9 sets of decreases every 6 rows
Divide - BO 8 = fronts 23, back 92.
Fronts - decrease 4 times = 19
Back - decrease 6 times = 86
Shoulders - 19, 24, 19
Sleeve length to underarm 51cm
Body length to underarm 21cm

It’s finished and I absolutely love it.
