Notes

15 rnds neck on 8mm because my 1x1 rib is usually larger than avarage

Before splitting for body and sleeves I preferred to knit the rnds of increases for the bust every round instead of knitting them every other rnd. This gave me the opportunity to shorten the armhole by 3 rnds without changing the stitch count.

I needed to shornen body and sleeves to adjust it to my hight and taste.

Structure is simple yet thoughtful with tubular cast on, tubular bind off and short rows to rise the back neck.
Design is fun easy and clever.
