Notes

Modifications: I picked up stitches at the bottom of the ribbed neckline and did about 1.25” of seed stitch. The 100% Silk was too drapey for the neckline.

MODS: top was way too drapey due to my yarn choice. And even though I tried the sweater on a few times, when I was on sleeve number 2, I decided it was too big. So I ripped it back to about 6” of yoke and dropped to a size 2 needle and dropped one size from XL to L.

Seed stitch hem for 6-8 rows with a simi-stretchy bind-off.

Sleeves: reduced to 104 stitches, then 3” in length. 7 rows of seed stitch.
