Notes

Bound off for armholes, then cast on 38 stitches to complete yoke.
Used crochet steek, only to find some unraveling at the border of the MC and the yoke. Used a machine zigzag stitch to reinforce the steek. Placed knitting on top of paper to make it easier to push through sewing machine.

Picked up 51 stitches on each side and did 4 rows 1x1 ribbing, then bound off. When both sides done, seamed at the “Vee”.

No eyelets, ruined a few test swatches. Maybe snaps if needed after wearing a few times?

Steam blocked aggressively.

Love it
