Garment K inside out

Modifications:
Provisional CO to work the yoke first. Sized up by adding sts to fit my chest circumference 42” round.
Worked 2 additional repeats on size US 10 needles to add length before switching to US8.

Didn’t Dec last round of sts shown in pat.

Once yoke was done:
Put live sts on needle from provisional CO. (tip: use smaller needle size to pup sts)

Placed markers
To accommodate my large chest, i gave the front 20 sts more than back. As a result the armhole was set further back.

Followed pattern to knit short rows flat to center shoulder and at the same time inc sts at both armholes.

Shaping sleeve cap
Front and back armhole had different rates of incs. This unusual sleeve cap with raglan shaping gave the garment a perfect fit.

Separated for sleeves. Provisional CO under both arms used to knit body and sleeves seamlessly.

K 2.5” then added bust darts.

Us10, K to desired length w/o waist shaping, added 4” (30 rows or 15 ridges) of garter stitch boarder on US10

Sleeves (tip: use smaller needle size to pup sts)
US10, Placed sts on needle and pup live sts held under arm. K to desired length w/o shaping. added 4” of garter stitch boarder on US10
