Notes

I love it! I made view B with i-cord edges on the sleeves and body hem.

Mods: I added a little length to the sleeves and body. The provisional cast on made it really easy to decide if I needed it or not, and the addition is completely seamless.
I also did a double-knit hem so that I wouldn’t have any rolling up on the edges, and I’m really happy with it
