Notes

I’m using a Pima Cotton DK held with a lovely silk/mohair fingering weight.

Yarn: 100% Pima Cotton DK, and 69/22/9 Silk/Mohair/Nylon fingering weight.

MODS:
Cap Sleeve - I added 1.5” twisted ribbing (k1tbl, p1).

Body - I wanted another inch or so in the body so I selected Pattern 229 from the Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible by Hitomi Shida. It’s a half double crochet bobble - see close-up photo.

I wanted a split hem as well. Front ribbing is about 2”, back is about 3” with an i-cord edging and Casey’s Not-So-Stretchy bind-off (view it on VeryPink Knits YouTube channel - https://verypink.com/2023/01/11/caseys-not-so-stretchy-bi...

About 2” positive ease. Twisted ribbing for neck, sleeve, and hem (k1tbl, p1).
