Errata 04/05/2023 There was a small error in the length for the front panels to be knitted. The line should read: Repeat this row until the front measures 42 (45, 49, 53, 57, 61, 65, 69)cm from cast on, or until it matches the back. The pattern version has now been updated with this change to V1.2!
