Thank you Nadia for excellent bobble instructions! nadia777

To make bobbles: Into one stitch, kfbfbf (5 sts made from 1) then pass the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th sts on the right-hand needle separately over the last stitch made. Slip the bobble st onto the left hand needle, knit, slip back onto left hand needle and knit once more.

Knit body length to 10.25” prior to hem. Five full repeats.

August 13, 2023

Body complete. Length from underarm prior to blocking 10.75”. 5 lace panels.

Followed pattern instructions for sleeve. Knit chart B six times. Sleeve at this point measured just 11.75”. Thinking with decrease round plus rib cuff AND blocking (lace will stretch out), length will be good for me.

In conclusion - what a beautiful pattern this is. The combination of a worsted gauge with lace and bobbles create a wonderful garment.

Thank you Caitlin and Betsy for including me in this test!
