Notes

I met gauge with a super bulky yarn & size 10.5 needles, but I wasn’t sure I had enough yarn.

All guess work now - So, try a different yarn - I CO 120 stitches on size 10 needles, the gray yarn & did 2” of the ribbing from the Camden pattern. When I got to the SS, I added in a strand of pink & decreased 8 stitches to go down one size. I used the pink yarn every third round (round 1- pink added, rounds 2 & 3, gray only).

I knit 9” ITR & did the split for the front & back on a row 3. For the front half I did the 14 rows of decreases, then 17 rows of even SS to = 15.25”, at which point I began the neckline BO.

I had a duh moment when finishing the back. I bound off too early for the neck because I failed to consider the strap rows after the front neck BO. That’s 16 additional rows!

I tried picking up 88 for the sleeve with the size 10 needles (increased to 90 to make the pattern work), but it looked sloppy. I switched to a size 9 needle & picked up 96 stitches. I did 3 rounds of the rib pattern, then did a P1, K1 BO - much neater.

Well, it looks too chunky on me, even though I like the look. Oh well, someone else will like it.
