Notes

The Wollmeise Lace yarn is fabulous--a perfect choice for this pattern and the machine. I used the same numbers as emteedee did on her cropped Boxy as I was unsure how much yardage the sweater would consume. As it turned out, I could have knit an extra 90 rows (!) and not run out of yarn. So when I do this again, I will add 2-3 extra inches to the length.

Cast on 196 sts. T7. 170 rows for body, shoulders and neck with 2.5 and 2.25mm needles (next time use 2.25 and 2.0mm).

Pick up 90 sts for sleeves and decrease on rows 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, knit to row 79, then hand rib for 4 rows.

Before/After Blocking Dimensions:
Width - 25” - 24”
Shoulder to hem - 18-3/4” - 19-3/4”
Sleeve length - 8-1/2” - 8-1/4”
Bicep - 5-1/2” - 5”
Neck opening - 8-1/4” - 7-1/2”
