This project is an excellent zero-ease fit for me.

Provisionally cast on 106 stitches each side in the round, then increased to 120 stitches each side in the round, 4 stitches per 9 rows.

Cast on sleeves provisionally just below the armpit - 98 stitches each.

The neckline is not great, it has no shaping and cuts the throat in a strange way.

Really happy with the fit of this top! After blocking I didn’t mind the high boat neck as much and it grew some ease, but just the right amount IMO. I got plenty of compliments.

Aside - there is a LOT of weaving in ends to do with this project.
