Notes

Gauge:

  • Body: 22 sts x 28 rnds = 4” in pattern
  • Sleeves: 22 sts x 26 rnds = 4” in pattern

I went down a needle size for the neck and sleeve rib.

I used SSK instead of SKP.

I CO 112 sts per size Large for a larger neck width and a shorter raglan length.

I wanted the neck 8.25” wide instead of 7” wide because the neck depth is only 1” and I didn’t want the neck to feel too constricting.

I worked 52 raglan rounds instead of 60 rounds for a 7.5” raglan length instead of 8.5”. The front and back each have 98 sts (35.5”) and the sleeves each have 62 sts (11.25”) instead of 70 sts (12.75”).

I worked 2” in pattern for the body before switching to rib and worked 2” in rib for a total length of 12.5” instead of 13”.

I knit the sleeves 17” long instead of 25.5” long.

For the sleeves I worked 11.5” even in pattern and decreased to 42 sts for the lower arm rib. I ended with pattern round 1 then worked 1 round in stockinette and decreased to 42 sts. I worked 5.5” in rib.

I used a regular BO for the body and the decrease BO from Semplice Fingerless Mitts for the sleeves.

Measurements:

  • Bust: 35.5”
  • Length: 12.5”
  • Body Length: 4”
  • Armhole Length: 8.5”
  • Sleeve Length: 17”
  • Upper Arm: 11.25”
  • Lower Arm: 7.5”
  • Back Neck Width: 8.25”
  • Neck Depth: 1”

Total Cost: $33.09
