Notes

I’m going with a 100% cotton yarn, because that’s what I have in my stash. I’m hoping the 4 inches of negative ease works out well for this.

Stopped increasing sleeves at 66 sts but cont on fronts and back.

After lace increases continued Raglan increases every other round till 74 stitches then begin increasing every round.

Raglan depth 6 inches after increases. 300 total sts: 66 per sleeve, 84 on front and back.

Planning waist dec at 7” from armpit and inc at 10 in from armpit. Ended up doing these at 6.5 and 9.5 inches. Made total length about an inch longer.

When I picked up sleeves I knit one round then bound off, eradicating the extra stockinette rows and the ribbing. I like how the sleeves match the neckline this way and I wanted to keep them short.
