Notes

I have rewritten this pattern to be knit in the round. I never was a fan of sewing seams, and there is no reason structurally why this top shouldn’t be knit in round. It has made life so much easier (except for when I have to tink back four rounds to insert a missed row. oops).

I am so happy with this shirt, it fits beautifully. The neck is only two inches rather than four, because I ran out of yarn. This is my fault, because I added two inches to the bottom when I started. The neck is also a bit too loose for my taste. Am considering taking an inch of yarn off the bottom and ripping out the neck to redo on a smaller set of needles with the added yarn to bring it up to its proper height. But for now I’m happy enough!
