While visiting in August, Jacob sat with me and drew the island chart in Envisoknit Design Studio. I added the letters using the template in Christmas Stockings.

Knit size 6-7 for length and 8-9 for width.
Changes to pattern:

• Based on my gauge, worked 88 rows on the back/front before dec for armholes; then 50 rows to shoulder shaping.
• Rather than consecutive bind-offs for shaping, I tried German short rows. I’m not sure I like that any better.
• Added two rows St st to sleeves between dec and start of short rows.
• Began chart on Row 54 of St st.
• On my chart, front armhole shaping started on Row 42.
• Used duplicate st for the letters and mistakenly added an extra row between the letters and the island.
• Joined shoulder seams then picked up 80 sts for neck ribbing worked in the round.

Finished Measurements after blocking:
Chest 14.5” width
UA to cuff 12.5”
UA to hem 12.5”
