A test knit for Jimi! This pattern was so clear and easy to follow, and the stripes make it an addictive knit.

The button cuffs and neckline, and the perfect curved hem make this easier to dress up than your typical henly-type sweater.

Total knit time: 29 hours

Mods (designer approved):
Please note that I made these mods to draft pattern--final pattern may have different measurements.

• 3 contrast colors
• Longer sleeves because I have monkey arms. Knit for 11” before cuff.
• Extra hip increases; started at 9” from underarm and increased every 5th row 4 times to get approx 39” hips. In retrospect, this was probably unnecessary, as the curved hem accommodates larger hips very well, and the sweater is actually a tad looser through the waist and hips than I usually prefer.
• Shortened overall length. Stopped striping at 12”

Model measurements: 36-28-39.

I wish I could’ve gotten my fun newspaper pinup photos to turn out better! Too dark inside the house today; maybe another time. :)
