Notes

Size 1 (32”) - my full bust is 30” so the top will have 2” of positive ease on me.

C1- Cobalt
C2- Honey
C3- Mint
C4- Natural

Lots of rows that included three colors at the same time. Hence I would rate this pattern as more advanced than most stranded colorwork patterns.

Added 6 rows of stockinette in C3 before beginning the hem.

Gauge with US 5. Went up to a US 6 for sleeve colorwork.

Only knit about 1.5” of ribbing at the sleeve.

Although this project looks stunning and I adore the colors that I’ve selected and the look of the motifs, I don’t love the fit. The three-color stranded section that runs across the bust and arms pulls a bit because there isn’t as much give with three-stranded sections. Consequently it doesn’t quite lay right even though the ease is just right. Just not as comfortable as I prefer.
