Notes

Body and hem: Uru.Yarn Speckled Singles (grey with black speckles)
Front and back trim, neck and sleeve trim: Little Fox Yarn Monos (black tonal)
Side trim: Another Crafty Girl Strong Sock (yellow)

First swatch on US 7 metal needles, after blocking
19 sts x 44 rows = 4”

Second swatch on US 9
17 sts x 38 rows = 4”

Unblocked dimensions:
38” bust
13” arm opening
18.75” from shoulder to hem
12” from armhole to hem
Neckline approx. 26” around

When blocking, stretched damp sweater to schematic dimensions. After drying, bust circumference was approximately 40”, about 3” shorter than schematic, but length remained the same and matched schematic. So, if I had blocked more aggressively with pins, the finished sweater would have a bit more ease. I like how it fits now though!

40” finished circumference, shown on a 38” bust with 2” of positive ease.
