Cropped length with 3/4 sleeves.

The colour is hard to capture, it’s a bit bright in the finished photos. The last photo (on blue dress) is probably the best representation.

Needle usage: 3.25mm for main fabric. 2.75mm and 3.00mm for body rib. 3.00mm for bands. 3.00mm for sleeve rib.

Worked as per pattern to arm split.
Mods:

• Ignored patterns bust shaping and did my own (usual “boob wedge”).
• Delayed waist shaping till I’d done full bust adjustment, so started waist shaping at 5”, not 2”.
• Waist shaping done at a faster rate than pattern to account for the delay whilst bust shaping worked.
• Picked up one for one for button band and then reduced down to appropriate stitch count on first row. I added one extra stitch so I could have a knit three at the top of the band, and be left with knit 2 when neckband was added (so visually it matches rest of band). 127sts total.
• Altered sleeve shaping to my taste (I have long arms): Knit straight (no decreases) for 2.5 inches (rather than 1 specified in pattern). And worked decrease rounds at 2” intervals.
