Notes

Doing 7-row stripes of these two CWs. Both are prone to pooling since they’re only 2 colors each and this should avoid that. Front flap Adonis, back flap Hot Night.
I always like to note which options I used because this pattern has SO many, and such notes could help some one browsing FOs decide what they do or do not want in an FO. So- Options:

  • Raglan tee top
  • Rounded Ribbed Leg Cuff

Mods:
-An inch after the split for sleeves I picked up the sleeve sts on 12” circs and finished each as follows: Row 1- knit all, Row 2- purl all, Row 3- Knit all, BO purl-wise.
-Because we use mainly fitteds I do extra short rows. The first two as the pattern directs, then knit a round in pattern, then a third short row to and from 1 before each hip marker, knit a full round, then a fourth short row exactly like the third.

  • To make the edge of the flaps neater and easier to pick up for the ribbing I did the decreases at 3 sts before the end, instead of the last 2 sts. It makes a world of difference.
  • To accommodate for my guy’s chunky thighs I did 4 rows extra on each flap
