Modifications

Swapped the front panel and back panel patterns. Front was knit as stockinette (to the appropriate length) and back was knit as lace (to the appropriate length).

Knit size 54” (6” ease) but added 0.5” to each side area to add an extra 2” ease.

Random Notes

Knit sides to 7.5”

Sleeves are 38 rows.

DEFINITELY need more than 24” for seaming sleeves

29 rows + bind off (row 30) for front bottom band. ~4” = side seam

Updates

I’m going to rip out the neckline and re-work it to fit a little better. I’m going to add a few more rows to it (aiming for 1.25”) and decrease along the shoulders (where the CO stitches are) to tighten up the neckband.

I wish I trusted my gut and added length to the front panel (an extra 1-2”). My bust depth requires just a little more length in the front for tops to fit just so.
Also, I would keep the back panel the same, but lengthen the back bottom band by 2”
