Notes

I’ve cast on 67 to make a larger size. I’ve included spaces along rib by yarn over, knit two together with the idea of adding ribbon to tye. I’m going to make the top section in white.

Progress is quite quick which is a bonus! I’m using 7.5mm needles rather than 8mm. Just because that’s what I have. Makes the yarn airy and light but I wouldn’t want to go to 8mm.

I’ve crocheted three chains to fit around waist and tied together. Weaved in and out of gaps in ribbing previously made.

Knitted the blue, long enough to reach from hip to cleavage then did 10 rows knitted in white before knitting the mesh. Sewed along shoulder, each side about 6 mesh holes. May decide to sew along another 3 making 9 mesh holes each side.

Really happy with this easy, quick knit.
