Notes

Chart I- After finishing, the funnel neck seems to be pretty long. I think I would omit some next time because the colorwork is lost in the folds.

Yoke depth seems too large for me. After Chart lll, I increased every 3rd stitch to 216. Then I omitted Chart lV. In order to have this centered, I started Chart V on stitch number 8. On the last round of Chart V, I increased every 4th stitch= 270 sts.
Split for sleeves=41, 53, 82, 53, 41 sts on row 1 of Chart Vl, casting on 2 sts at the underarm to give me a total of 168 body sts. Changed to no. 9 needles for main color body.

Main color decreases on body and sleeves- it would be better to decrease on the second row after Chart VI instead of the first row, because the decreases show up in the color work.

Ribbing- used no. 8 needles

Sleeves- picked up 3 underarm sts to = 56 sts. Changed to no. 9 needles during main color.

Wonderfluff is FANTASTIC!!!
