Notes

Lovin’ this sweater, it is SO flattering.

Mods:

  • The Yoke was too short for my adolescent shoulder area…. (read “not-buff”), so I shortened the rnds worked so that was 12.75 inches long at the split.
    • Added back waist shaping (ala owls) so that it comes in at the waist and flatters my figure a wee bit more.
    • Shaped Sleeves: Began decreases after the 4th sleeve chart repeat so that the sleeves tapered down to the wrist. I worked these on every rnd 1 and 6 for repeats 5 - 8 as follows: K1, ssk, work to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1, ended with 31 sts for size 36”.
    • I did like the roll at the neckline, but did not want to have the sleeve or bottom hems roll adding bulk where I didn’t need it. I worked two rnds of seed stitch at the hem of the sleeve, and 3 rnds at the bottom hem of the sweater.
