Notes

Modifications:
Added 2 st for fake side seams
I wanted a slightly more relaxed fit so:
Body shaping decreases from hips to bust. So A-line not hourglass silhouette. Decreased after body reached 5”, 9” and 13”
Knitted armscye /yoke to M dimensions to avoid having close-fitting underarms.
Sleeves - picked up 2 for 3 around armholes (size M)
After short rows worked several decreases close to bottom of armhole (like a gusset) in first 6 rounds to decrease stitches to midway between numbers for S and M. Followed decrease pattern for S until reached final number for M.
16 R ribbing for cuffs.

I was going to use German short rows but followed pattern and did wrap & turn in order to follow helpful directions on neatening set-in sleeves.
