I like the sleeve wrap & turn detail. The purl row on the collar is nice too. The fit is 0.5” of negative ease (bust circumference of 35” not the intended 37”) due to a gauge issue after washing my coned yarn that didn’t mimic the smaller swatch. I like the fit because it feels just like wearing a well-fitting tee. Bottom hem and sleeve cuffs are intended to be loose and they work well in this design.

Post-block Gauge: Textured pattern indicated above. Stockinette gauge is 25 sts x 34 rows.

Yarn used is coned and had spinning oil which required 3 hot water rinses and Dawn dish soap to remove. I think the gauge shrunk because the water might have been too hot. Good news though, the yarn is super soft and I can wear the tee next to my super-sensitive skin which is great because it now has negative ease which was not the intended outcome.

Size 5 used in textured pattern / size 3 for ribbing

Gauge swatch: used chart D and worked 3 repeats for 36 sts with 2 garter sts on each end. Size 5 needles gives correct stitch count (26) and is only 1 row less than required (33).

Tubular cast on with folded edge is tedious. I was grateful for the tutorial on the designers blog. I haven’t performed it this way but I truly think it was worth the effort. I very much like the end result. Very stretchy and ribbing looks perfect!

Tubular bind off with 2 needles makes a great stretchy neckline and sleeve cuff.
