Notes

I am using the pattern as a guide to make my first fairisle machine knit sweater.

Worked short row shaping on back neck after all fairisle patterns were complete-
66 sts.
Place 2 sts on hold every row alternating sides and wrapping stitches until 34 center stitch remain.
Work 2 more rows, working across all sts.

The fairisle patterns came from stitch world, various charts were used. Decreases happening after each chart, with 2 plain rows knit in main color inbetween:
First chart - 20 rows
Second chart- 13 rows
Third chart - 8 rows
Fourth chart - 4 rows
Fifth chart- 4 rows
Sixth chart - 6 rows

Tension 2 for rib

Row gauge was off by 1 so I had to recalculate the decrease to every 5th row 27x. Worked the third fourth fifth and sixth fairisle design on the sleeve
Before cuff.

Worked 140 rows after the armhole shaping for the body and worked 14 rows for rib.
Had no yarn leftover of the main color!
