Notes

04-10-2017

Plan to make a vest similar to this one for Sean.

04-11-2017

I managed to create a chart, based on the picture of the vest. Looks reasonably accurate.
Fortuitously, the pattern works well with this chart since this colour work requires multiple of 48, and the bodice for medium size has 144 stitches.

armhole: BO 11
shoulder shaping: 36 > BO 12 sts.

Only about a thousand ends to weave in and then it’ll be done.
