Knit Size 3 with the small neckline and 3/4 puff sleeves with diagonal cuff.

1. I used a US8/5mm needles for the cast on and the neck ribbing. I only did 2 rounds of double knitting. I switched to the US10/6mm needle on row 8.
2. I did not knit the short rows in the front, only on the back.
3. I did 3 extra raglan increases in the yoke before splitting for the body.
4. I used US9/5.5mm for my hem ribbing, switched to US8/5mm, then knit 2 double knit rows for my tubular bind off .
5. I cast on 2 extra stitches at each the underarm.
6. I knit through 1 ball of yarn after I split for the body, then knit the sleeves as I played a major game of yarn chicken. I did knit the sleeves 1” longer than suggested by the pattern for the long diagonal hem.
7. I only decreased the sleeve by 5 stitches before starting the i-cord bind off.
8. Since this was a stash busting project for the merino/silk/cashmere yarn, I was super happy to only have 3 grams of the yarn left when I was done.
