Notes

I’ve gone up 0.5mm on all needle sizes and I’m knitting off gauge and one size bigger to create an over-sized look.

Tubular cast on.
Split hem.
Body knitted 5cm longer before splitting for front and back.
Armpits decreased to 66 stitches remaining on the back.

74 stitches picked up for the neckline.
3 out of 4 rows/stitches picked up for the armholes. CDD in the armpit on every row.

Tubular cast off after 8 rows of 1:1 ribbing on on collar and armholes.

First dye lot (left over from my skirt) was just enough to finish the body, collar and armhole ribbing knitted in different dye lot of Drops Soft Tweed.
