Notes

I knit the size 32” bust for 2” of positive ease. I have a 30” full bust and 25” waist. I’m 5’6” tall. I knit the cropped version (8” from underarm before beginning the hem).

This pattern was such a joy to knit and it literally flew off my needles. There are a number of rows in the yoke where you need to use three different colors within the same row. As long as you don’t twist your yarns, you can easily manage it. In order to catch my floats, I pick them up on the next round. It prevents twisting of the yarn and helps to keep the yarn tension even. I found this video to demonstrate how I catch them on the next round (although I’m an English-style knitter this seemed to be the best video to show what I do).

The yarn by Sugarplum Circus is just spectacular. Soft, bouncy, and the most vivid of colors. That Taurus color green_heart - so absolutely gorgeous!!! I cannot recommend it highly enough!

There were no modifications made to the pattern other than to use a regular lifted bind-off in pattern.
