Notes

second time making this top.

CO 72 to make 4 repeats instead of 3 (54st) as pattern calls for.

I find pattern quite short in length so have decided to do multiple extra rows/repeats.

7 repeats in dark blue/marlin

03-04-2016

9 repeats in light blue/sea foam

3 repeats in white

arm hole shaping (decreases) done every row because of the extra 18 stitches I added to the width. CO row for straps was K16, CO 18, K16

Now on to the front…

08-04-2016

finished! made front same back except cast off neck after 4 rows so it would be lower than back. Didn’t even block this one…hangs nicely without. Maybe the extra length helps add weight. So pleased with the turnout of this project!
