Notes

8-1-25
Neckline: five ribbing rods, one round to convert to 1x1, Italian tubular bind off - it does look that great.

Sleeve experiment: two rounds of 22 ribbing, one end to convert to 1x1, one end of 1x1, then Italian tubular bind off - hoping it will look cleaner.

Finishing the bottom ribbing, Italian sewn bind off. Half wrong, but not pulled out a sewn bind off. No one but me will probably notice I switched the knits and purls.

Ended up frogged about 6 inches back up to the armpits as it was 12 inches too wide. Not loving this pattern.

Had to write the number - only did a few armpit increases and CO THREE stitches to join in the round.

Ugh.

This pattern is confusing as it works differently from any other pattern I’ve done - but once you get the gist of it, it makes sense.

Just read it several times. That said, I couldn’t make the pattern numbers work once joining in the round under the armpits.

Ended up decreasing by four stitches in the second row of the armpits, CO 11 new stitches to join. Hoping this disappears once the ribbing is added.
