Notes

Knitting size 1 (31.5” bust). I have a full bust of 30” and waist of 25”. I am 5’6” tall.

I’m not a fan of the double neckband and therefore I knit the neckband for 1.5” to match the hem and sleeve cuffs.

I split for the sleeves after round 2 of the Main Chart. I ended the body after round 25.

It didn’t make sense to follow the pattern set up row instructions for the sleeve because it would have caused the BOR marker to be in the middle of a chart repeat. Instead, I made the last marker in the round the BOR marker.

I also knit the sleeve a bit shorter since it will grow in blocking. I knit round 3-48 and then 1-48.

I wanted the cuff of the sleeve to be tighter so I modified the decrease round as follows. K2tog all around. (40 stitches around for the ribbing.).
