Notes

8/14: Done! Just needs photos.

Going to try for a gradient look using five colors of lace weight held double. I got a gauge of 20 sts/4” on a washed and blocked swatch on what I think were #6s (note to self: if you are going to be organized enough to block your swatch, write down all the info!). I’m going to try it on #8s and hope I get close to 18 sts/4”. The swatch has a ton of stretch, so I think I’ll have some leeway. Making size M (37 5/8”).

Plus, did I say I love the name of this pattern? It just makes me want to knit it.

Number of stripes: 9 (18 rows per stripe instead of 20 for the body).

I knit the sleeves without any decreases and picked up an extra 3 sts per sleeve at the underarms because initially the sleeves were too tight. I knit 20 rows per stripe on the sleeves instead of 18 rows.
