Test knit TRIFELS tunic.
Summary of deviations from pattern -
○ doing size 7 to get size 36”
○ kept increasing sleeves until 70 sts each
○ did not do as many increases in body as in pattern, just stopped when it fitted right which means stitch numbers would vary from pattern in body & pocket shaping later
○ body, pocket shaping as in pattern, cast on 17 sts each pocket
○ sleeves decreases every 10th row, another 2 pairs of spaced decreases just before ribbing
○ refer Neckline stitch pick up below
