Wow, I just squeaked this out of the 2 skeins.
I aggressively steam blocked this piece to get it to be 44 inches wide 30 inches long in back and 28 in front.

Lemonpeel throughout (sc,dc, across ending w dc, ch 1 turn sc in each dc, dc in each sc)

7mm hook used for main body
5.5mm the last 5 rounds of sleeve cuff

I’ve only written this out for the one size, but here are some thoughts on how to adjust the size:

Notes on sizing;
To make it smaller, after joining front and back omit 2 rows each side for Med (18), 4 for Small (16), 6 for xs.
To make it larger: A third cake will be needed, you could probably get up to about “50 by
making front and back pieces with 3rd cake.
ADD or subtract 2 body rows on each side, for about +/- 3” circumference.
