Notes

Curses! I’ve managed to get asymmetrical patterns!

I LOVE this - it looks really elegant and the yarn is GORGEOUS.

The pattern is wonderful as written (very clever). But I wanted a lower neckline (more like the blue Coraline prototype in Rowan Wool Cotton on Ysolda’s site) so I did the i-cord cast off where the pattern starts the short rows. I should have probably done a couple more rows but I’m too lazy, so I just did 1 row of single crochet around the neck and that made it less stretchy and to sit better. My bust is between 38 and 40” but the arms seemed really wide for those sizes so I went down quite a few sizes for the arms - to the 32”! (hence the mess up with the symmetry - oh well). Oh, I also did a bit of waist shaping (doesn’t hurt eh?) and shorter arms… obviously.
