Notes

I cannot believe I never made a BSJ so far! I have both, Opinionated Knitter and Knitting Workshop, but I will use the Workshop as it is not as big.

I assume the baby will on the bigger side, so I will go for 170 instead of 160 stitches , so division will be 38- 94-38 stitches.

March 15, 2025

Neck cast off at 182 stitches (i.e. 43 front stitches)
Back only ridges at 45 front stitches for 12 ridges

Currently still working at increases.

Casted on 6 stitches each for the neck opening, now on to increase again until 45 fron stitches.
