Notes

Using the colorwork chart of Durumi on the body of Cape Broyle! I started the colorwork when I reached 360 st, so I could easily swap the charts. I modded the Durumi triangles to be a 12 st repeat instead of 10 so that I could add in a few more rows of the neon yellow, as this project is fingering and not DK like the original Durumi.

Decided I’m over decreasing on sleeves, and instead leaving them at the 96 st to form a soft puff sleeve. Decreased half the stitches down to 48 for the cuff, knitted in twisted knit ribbing on US 2.5 needles.

04-10-2019

I ripped out the bottom wraparound ribbing because it was sadly stretched tight at the bust and armpit. I would advise anyone knitted Cape Broyle to not pull those decrease stitches on the edges too tightly, because it will affect the necessary drape!

Re-knitted the twisted ribbing with a size 4, and bound off with a size 7 needle scream_cat but now it has the same stretch as the stockinette, and drapes nicely!
