Notes

1 of my skeins is beautiful, and one is dull and brownish and the other 2 are in between. Start the yoke with the best one, then alternate after.

Sport yarn, so down to 4.0 mm needle, and up to size 40/42.
Provisional cast-on of 15 instead of 11, then 8 fewer stitches for middle so same total, to give a little more coverage to the shoulders. 2 more rows of rib in back.
-added 4 more short rows in front yo bring the neck down a bit. Because I did this, I didn’t add the 2 extra rows of rib.

  • added 8 rows (4 w&t each side) of bust darts at 3 inches below armhole. Started at 14 stitches from side, then 2 less each turn.
  • did not go down a needle size for body hem ribbing.
  • picked up fewer stitches for neckline, due to my wider shoulders. 44 and 40.

Sleeve skein 103 grams to start. Picked up 71 stitches for larger size, down 4 on short rows (67). Decreased every 8th round twice, every 10th round twice, then every 12th round 5 times until 49 stitches. 1 more stitch decreased when starting ribbing on smaller needles over 48 stitches to match pattern. I elected 3/4 length sleeves as I just didn’t want to use any more of the dull brownish skein. 7 grams left after both sleeves.

72 grams left out of 4 skeins.
