Knitting a pattern size 2 (i.e. finished bust of 43.75 inches). The pattern recommends knitting a size 8-12” larger than wearer’s bust. My bust is 35” so I’m knitting this with 8.75 inches positive ease. This will give me positive ease on the lower side of the range, but I’m using superwash yarn so anticipating some stretch.

Using size US 7 needles as larger size and size US 5 needles as smaller size.

Aug 31, 2019: Finished the 2nd sleeve.

Sep 1, 2019: Finished the neck. I did just 7 or so rows of 2x2 rib for a shorter collar because I quite like the shape of the neck as-is. Blocking.

Pre-blocking gauge: 21 stitches x 30 rows in 4 inches (10 cm)

Post-blocking gauge: 19 stitches x 28 rows in 4 inches (10 cm)

Ended up using 4 skeins plus about 30 grams of the 5th skein.
