Notes

Mods: starting at the elbow without a flared end, so CO 72 to start. We’ll see how it fits! Working with heavy laceweight yarn on size 2s.

Gauge - 17 st per 2 inches on size 2 needles.
CO 72 on size 4 needles, repeat pattern 4x, switch to size 2. Knit 48 rows in stockinette stitch for half-sleeves. Did a 15 round increase before binding off 4, leaving me with 104 stitches for the back.

Knit 20” total back (27.5” from CO) before joining in the round again. Did a 15 round decrease, then 48 rounds stockinette, switched to size 4s, trim pattern 4x.

Didn’t really follow the # of stitches to pick up but ended up with 200-something and a multiple of 8. Followed pattern for a total of 4x repeat (completed pattern A one time, pattern B 3 times).

For reference, Jess is about a size 2.

Love how this turned out. Instead of a knitted BO, I did Jenny’s surprisingly stretchy BO. The fit was completely custom and perfect! I’m so proud of this piece.
