Just realized that I need to increase additional five stitches in order to make up for lack of Henley. Will do that in last several rows of yoke chart, and then incorporate those into the raglan chart as an additional vertical gingham band.

Also realized I could have skipped the provisional cast-on and just started with a neck band. Ah well!

Hmmm. I get to the suggested yoke length before I complete the increases and the raglan chart for my chosen size. I think best course is to continue the chart and complete all the increases so that my stitch count is on target for the separation of sleeves and body.

Just separated sleeves. Onward!

Will need to go up to 3.25mm needle for skirt because I need a longer cable.

Starting skirt!! Don’t need to change to larger needles yet—I can still fit stitches on the short cable. Might have to change with next increase.

Stitcher friend suggested leaving sleeves as capped sleeves or short sleeves. I like that idea. So it might be another mod.

Am on last gingham tier of skirt. Still on correctly sized needle and a very crowded cable.

Further mods:

shorter sleeves

neckband in CC2 and done just as skirt and sleeve hems

all hems (neck, sleeves, skirt) are 12 rows, purl row, change to smaller needles, 10 rows, k2tog bind off.

Instead of using two needles for hem closure, I just used the working needle only and dipped into a wrong side stitch and k2tog with live stitch, then bound off. I posted a pic.

Done! Now to wet block and see how that changes size and drape.
