After waist decreases, started increases almost immediately due to my freakishly short waist. My measurement from underarm to bottom edge is 13”, pattern schematic says it should be 17-18”.

Started edging 8 rows after last increase. Edging, before blocking, is around 4.25”.

Started sleeve edging 7 rows after last increase.

I didn’t like how my swatch blocked (wrinkly), so I steam blocked the finished sweater to avoid that. it worked great.

Made my own Dorset buttons.
