Pattern called for 120, I did 102
Didn’t want 12” of positive ease. (My hips are w.i.d.e. but not that wide!)

08-12-2020

I adjusted to give waist shaping starting 6 rows above garter slit. dec 1 ea end
repeat ev 6 rows 6x?

08-14-2020
will only go ~12” above garter slit to armhole since I’m clearly not as tall as the average person.

08-16-2020
split for neck, but attached new ball at side seam and did extra row to get it to center.

08-20-2020
After ripping back lace multiple times (not sure if I had missed a row or knit same row twice) I got strict about tracking my rows. I also was a little unclear about chart’s numbering system on the edge, but finally made an assumption that worked.
Yay! Over the shoulder, with no shoulder seam! Love the construction. Hope it hangs nicely.

8-26-2020 Quick knit! I should have made mine longer…and not done as much hip ease.
