Notes

I have 12 colors of leftovers from other projects and I’m using all of them! in order from 1st to last, these are the approx amounts I used (held double):
California Blue - 36g
Vista - 18g
Dark Apple - 19g
Freesia - 22g
Bourgogne - 19g
Saffron - 21g
Lavender - 22g
Ice Sea - 13g
Army - 12g
Dark Navy - 13g
Cassis - 13g
Jaffa - 14g

my gauge was 21.6 st/4” x 8.1 rounds/1” … I wanted a bust ~36”. finished ~36.5” with body/sleeve length 13”

I worked size #2 EXCEPT on the 1st yoke increase, K20 between the m1’s … for sleeve/body split, I did 44 for the sleeves and 82 for the body. I split at round 62 (starting from the cast on).

I worked the lifted increase by knitting the next stitch, then picking up the left leg of the stitch 2 rows below (no slipped stitch) … and I did nothing to alleviate the jogs. I wanted ALL my stripes to be 8 rows tall all around.

LOVE LOVE LOVE how it turned out (once I fixed the oops that was only obvious - to me! - when I was laying out the blocked sweater to dry) … see that last photo!
