Notes

Trying to stick with around an Aran weight. I’ll hold a fingering color with a worsted white throughout.

  1. Starting with Sweetgeorgia and Madil Iceland. Added: Kraemer and Grundl - I held Grundl double for a while then dropped one strand and continued to the top. For my narrow shoulders I decreased 2 stitches on each shoulder and 2 stitches on back neck.

  2. First Welt: Pink Mira and remaining Kraemer. Second Welt: Purple Berroco Folio and Red Heart Chic Sheep Third Welt: Heritage Lemon Picked up purl bump with size 5 needle.

  3. Purple Berroco Folio and Red Heart Chic Sheep

  4. Same as 2.

  5. Same as 3.

  6. Heirloom Baby Green and Red Heart Chic Sheep and White Mohair. Worked seed stitch instead of garter. Decreased 2 stitches on last row.

  7. Telluride Faded Teal and Red Heart Chic Sheep Changed to Peach Heirloom when casting on 28 st. 13 ridges. Changed to Hawaiian Mist Heirloom when starting decrease neck edge. 13 ridges changed to Heritage Lemon. 13 ridges

  8. Same as 6.

  9. Same as 7.

  10. Purple Berroco Folio. Knit seed stitch instead of garter to keep it more stable.

  11. Heirloom Baby Green. After 12 repeats of Rows 3&4 I knit one more row around RS to underarm. SSK with first underarm stitch. Picked up 8 and continued in the round. Followed the rest of the sleeve in the round instead of working the Underarm separately.

  12. Same as 10.

  13. Same as 11.

  14. Cuff only, Heirloom Hawaiian Mist.

  15. Pink Mira. Worked 8 ridges total.

  16. Heritage Lemon. Because I knit fewer front rows, the collar short rows wouldn’t have worked out with knitting to 3 stitches and turn so I knit to 2 stitches and turn. It worked out well.

  17. I cord border in Pink Mira. Worked bind off with size 10-1/2 needle.

Back Width (Blue-Between Tucks) = 14.5”
