My first successful experiment with all-over lace pattern using top down contiguous method ~ Yay!

Shoulder inc 18x, front straight 2”
Front: inc every 4th row 6x, every other row 4x
Sleeve caps: split 3+1+3, inc every other row
Join body: 34+11co+75+11co+34 = 165 @ 5mm
Sleeves (3/4): 40+11co = 51 @ 4.5mm (w/12”cir)
Bands: 2x2 rib @ 4mm, 3.5mm
Size: 36” relax fit

Scrapped the ideal of a shawl collar and went with the classic round rib.

• Contiguous method CO 33 (1+1+29+1+1)
• Yarn held double
• Gauge approx. 5 sts = 1” (lace pattern stretched not blocked)
• Relax fit with positive ease ?
• Shawl collar with short rows ?
