After looking at a lot of other projects from the same pattern, it looks like the armholes end up a bit tight. Will plan to add a few more rows to the front before increasing for the bottom of the armhole.

I’m also a 42” bust, so I will likely need to do more increasing at the front to get the desired shaping.

Kept increasing front and armhole sections until I had 30 armhole stitches on either side. Will then check if I need to add more to the front before casting on 10 stitches and joining to knit in the round.

Knit in the three sections until 28-81-28 (with a few rows thrown in without increases), then join in the round as per the pattern with 10 cast on stitches at the front.

I sidestepped to do the sleeves. Picked up 68 stitches at the sleeve and K2P2 for 4 rows and bound off with super stretchy bind off.

Sleeves are done. Finishing the body now and realizing I’ll need one more ball (or a half ball) in order to decrease and do the bottom ribbing.

Could not locate an additional ball of 003 Charcoal Gold to finish the bottom body.
Instead I ripped back to half of the last ball of gray and pixelated in with 002 Black Copper using the free Dither pattern. I’ll fade the gray to black and then knit to the bottom.
