Notes

Looking at this pattern and the yarn suggested I just cannot fathom how anyone could possibly achieve gauge with the yarn and needle sizes suggested. Maybe my yarn is a lot thinner than the super bulky suggested.

I swatched on 5.5 mm and achieved about 4 sts per inch. I am going to drop down to a 4.5 mm needle and hope for the best.

Completed 2 repeats of charts A and B before neckline decreases. Begin decreases row 1.

Feel like I made some error in decreasing, noting here so I replicate it on the other side.

Decreased down to 51 Sts on row 3 of panel D. Row 9 of panel B.

Next decrease on chart Row 7 (50sts)

Next decrease on chart row 11 (49 sts)

Work 2 rows even…begin sloped bind off
