Notes

Hoping to knit a shorter length this time.

Just a little different from the pattern on the yoke.

Lace held double and adding white beads

Brown double - 69grms + 10 grms = 79grms
Brown and White lace - 13grms

CO 90sts - 4.5mm

No short rows.

Because I have smaller needles and only 2 strands of lace yarn I worked up to 322sts size 46”

Trying size 46” for the dividing the body and sleeves.

53 + 55 + 106 + 55 + 53 = 322 sts

CO 9sts under arm

Put on WY to try on.

These numbers have not worked, too loose at the back, so ripped back to the dividing for the sleeve.

Knitted another 4 rows as well for extra room under the arm.

Going to pinch 8sts from the back and add to front
also dec 4sts

49 - 55 - 110 - 55 - 49 = 318sts crossed_fingers this will work.

I have 226sts for the body, this includes the underarm sts.

Sleevs 5mm Pick up 13sts underarm + 49sts = 62sts
Knit 14rows
Change to 4mm for the twisted rib -12rows cast off in rib.

Length before blocking and after - 15” / 18”
Width before blocking - 42” / 40”
Width Sleeve cuff - 3.5” / 4”

I pinned it at the bottom to keep the edge even while drying, and happy it has grown 3” in length.

I am very pleased with this top, I knitted it to fit over this strappy linen sundress, and looks great. The length worked out fine, it just finishes at the top of the pocket which was a bit lucky really.
