Learned something important in making this - holding two yarns together can use a lot more yardage than a single strand. I realized when halfway through the bottom ribbing that I was going to run out even though I had 1250 yds of each yarn, way more than the stated requirement of 1000 yds.

My daughter, GabriellaRuby, suggested I purchase a coordingating color for the bottom and front ribbing since I couldn’t get more of the yarns I’d purchased on sale. After knitting the ribbing with Kid Classic, I set it off by chaining light weight ivory mohair with a crochet hook.

Gigi made me a mohair flower with a small pink crystal in the center and attached it to a pin back to bring it all together. She said it was very Coco Chanel. :)

Went up a needle size for sleeves since I knit tighter on dpn’s.

Did 6 rows of short rows between edges of raglan increases at back of neck so it wouldn’t have a tendency to slide off my shoulders.
