Notes

Sizing - was lucky to be able to try on a sample of this. Will make the small on the back, and the medium for the fronts.

Changes to sweater - I want to knit a front band in addition to the knitted collar. I also tried the cast-on with the yarn doubled and didn’t like it, so I’m doing the German cast-on with a single strand.

10/3 - swatched on size 4 needles, a bit too large, size 3 closer, a tad tighter in stockinette. Will have to keep track of actual measurements as I get closer to the top of the body.

Adjusted cast on - 70 stitches for each front, 135 for the back

Note: actually I’m basically knitting the medium size stitch counts. Praying that this works.

Body is done, used just under 6 skeins of yarn

Finished this last night. I ended up doing narrow knitting bands (using a hem to match the collar) so I wouldn’t get the rolling along the fronts.

The front was done as a medium and the back as small, which works for my frame. I also shortened the sweater because I am onely 5’2” and it is a good length. The fit is excellent - will try to get some photos of it on!
