Notes

My gauge is off but I tried in size 2, 3, & 4 needles and the size 3 was the closest. Since the swatches blocked exactly the same size as before washing, I’ll do my best guess on size and try as I go.

Knit according to pattern with size 3 needle following size 38/40. Made the top back about an inch longer because the armhole was too tight.

Sleeve: picked up 78 (every other with a couple extra at top, bottom and seams). K 52, GSR, P25, GSR, until 6 stitches left on each side of underarm marker. Decreases at 5th round (twice), 13th round (once), 10th round (three times). K even for 32 rounds. Then decrease every 10th round (5 times)=56 stitches. K to 13-1/2”. Decreased 8 stitches on next round. DDS for 4” (37 rounds). Bind off with size 5 needle.

Collar: Size 2 needle. Picked up and K1, P1, on both sides (to match DDS from flounce), Picked up and Knit top back. 8 total rows of DDS. Bind off with size 4 needle.

I didn’t like how this sweater fit me. The sleeve construction made it tight and uncomfortable across my shoulders.

It did fit Kristi perfectly so I gave it to her. She looks great in it!!
