Notes

As I am not V-shaped, I made some changes.
Started with Size M1 on US#6 , then changed to #4 needles and did decreases to size small, no increases. I think it fits me better around the hips, more of an A- line shape.
I had intended to make it shorter, 15” for the body, but ended up with 16” and it sits perfectly on my frame.
The yarn is one of my favorite yarns and has been waiting in my stash for just the right pattern.
Getting the exact gauge on #4‘s.
I am using the magic knot for joining yarn for this thin chained yarn. It is much less visible than weaving in the yarn ends later.
Changed to US#5 after separating front and back and knitting flat.
July 21: Finished and blocking today. I tried it on before blocking and absolutely love it. Good fit, simple yet elegant design, really shows off the yarn.
