Notes

This ended up EXACTLY the way I wanted it smile
So happy I frogged the first brown from Knitting for Olive and splashed on the MadelineTosh+La Bien Aimee-combo - handdyed plays so well with handdyed, and while the KfO is beautiful, it also felt a little flat/dull with the two other handdyed.

Actually managed to use up 5 full skeins from stash - and well, a bit extra #withlovefromstash stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye


A modified Monday, because my gauge was off.

CO 84 sts for neck, 12 rows of rib.
Markers put up:
12-3-10-3-28-3-10-3-12
(so front marginally wider than back)
Used pattern up to 258 sts, before I divided for sleeves, leaving 152 sts. for body. Added 3 extra sts for body on each side, giving me a total of 158 sts for the body. (I’m pretty sure these are the numbers, but my notes do leave me a little head scratching…zany_face)

Sleeves:
50 sts + 6 picked up.
Decrease 2 sts every 10 rows 10 times, to 36 sts.
25 rib rows, Italian BO.

Bottom hem:
Once I thought it appropriate, I divided for front and back:

Back: 80 sts.
20 rows flat, doing an applied icord for the first three and last three sts.
Then did a rounded edge over the next 16 rows, using the technique found in this video: Rounded edge
- I did three sts and the k1/p1 before doing decreases.
Icord bind off, using the 4 sts - 3 st. from icord, decreasing the yarn-in-front slipped st with a ssk on the first row - plus the first st, to keep somewhat in pattern. Decreased until 4 sts. left, then did something along the lines of a kitchener sts to mimick the last part.

Front:
78 sts, otherwise same as above, only just 10 rows flat, then rounded edge.

Yarn use:
Didn’t count the rows of red I got, but had used about 25 grams before I started raglan rounds.
33 rows of brown on both body and sleeve - had a smidgen DK left over.
