Thank you to Abbye and Selena of Wool & Pine for allowing me to test this new pattern. The lace and cable pattern, once learned, allowed for occasional challenge in between easy knitting.

Pattern Notes:

Watch your edges as I caught that I slipped stitches the wrong way on the neck so my arm and neck edges turned out different. It worked out so I didn’t rip back and entire section and just duplicated what I did on the rest.

Pattern is intermediate-advanced level, with the charts written out. The more advanced portion was that the rows at the beginning don’t line up with the charted row sections so you have two row counts to keep track of as the charted portion is done continously to keep the design intact.

I did need to seem up my arm holes by about 1” for a better fit.

Went down a needle size based on gauge swatch measurements and knitted mine on size 3 needles.

Measurements:

Knit a size 46 for a 40” bust.

Finished dimensions -

A. Bust: 46”
B. Armhole: 7”
C. Body length from underarm: 13.5”
