Notes

Found these three skeins in stash during recent clear out.
Color on Mannequin is most accurate.

plan on seeing how far the yardage takes me with this needle size and yarn weight. If I run low - this yarn is still available - see if I can match dyelot or use contrast color on hem and cuffs

Will be open/loose stitch and will need camisole under anyway so will use YOs for first three increase rounds for design effect and change to lifted increase (lift stitch below) on other increase rounds.

4/14 - gauge 4.5 st/in. Did one more round of increases to 232 sts. Separate as 80 front (I’m busty), 70 back, 41 each sleeve. Will increase underarm by 8 sts each side. Should give me 37.5” chest. will reduce front under bust line by 10 (dec two - one under each bust every other round 5 x)

Used size 9 16” on sleeves - (couldn’t find 10s)

4/27 - finished. Bottom rolling is bother me. I have a little yarn left. Am considering taking out binding and using the last of the yarn for garter band. Fits perfect.

5/4 - update. HATE the rolled hem at the bottom. I will unbind - use the last few yards of yarn I have and add garter rows.
