Notes

Started this as my Self Love Cast On for Valentine’s Day 2025.

No mods for back panel.

06-09-2025

Chose not to knit sleeves flat. I used 3 needle bind off for shoulders and seamed under arms. I’m knitting the sleeves in the round and ended up frogging and restarting 3 times (totally on me, I’m deviating from the pattern). I thiiiiink I like the sleeves now and am opting for wide sleeves with no shaping to be more my style. I had to switch to size US 8 needles to maintain gauge in the round.

Finished wide sleeve and didn’t like it. Took out the ribbing, added a few inches and then decreased (k2tog) across all stitches. Next round knit all. Next round decrease (k2tog) across all stitches. Next round knit all. Then I did 8 rows of ribbing and bound off loosely. It created a balloon sleeve and I LOVE IT!

Starting second sleeve today!
