Notes

My gauge was slightly looser than the given gauge, so I cast on for size 33 and made some modifications as detailed below.

Despite all the cables and double moss stitch, this was not a complicated knit. The charts were very easy to memorize, which made keeping track of where I was at in each much easier. This was a very satisfying knit!

Total knit time: approximately 22 hours

Model measurements: 36-28-38

Mods:

  • waist decreases every 4th round to 144 stitches for an approx 28”
  • 4 bust increases every 6th round to 160 stitches for an approx. 34”
  • worked body for 17” before starting raglan shaping
  • somehow ended up with 106 stitches at neckline and couldn’t decrease raglan further to intended 96 stitches because I only had 1 stitch between braided cables at this point. This was a happy accident, because I think the neckline is perfect.
  • followed size 30 for sleeves and made them only 3” long for a cute little cap sleeve
