I am pretty happy with the end product, however, like others, I found the pattern lacking: it is little more than a recipe, and there was no pattern support from the designer when I attempted to contact with a question through either Ravelry or her Etsy store. More of a $2 pattern than a $6 one.

I cast on 108 stitches, then knit ?6 ridges, followed by the y/o row, and did a total of 6 of these bands per panel. I knit the panel on US 10, and the neck on US 8, ribbing US 7. CDD for the V-neck. BO on 6th row of ribbing

Overall I am happy--the neckline is kind of large, and I may have to do something to stabilize it, or maybe rip out and add more rows before the final ribbed row…not sure. For now I’m done with it.

Update: I ripped out and did a 4th stripe around the neck, (3 rows and yo row)--then reknit the ribbing: this makes for a much better fit. I will need to get a new photo of the finished product.
