Notes

Alternating the 2 large skeins. Dyak metal needles. Cast on 114 sts for XS then increase to M size with 43 sts each for the 2 increase rows to get to 200 sts.

Will add pattern sts to lower hem and sleeves. Will taper the sleeves and use a regular ribbing hem.

Worked 3 sets of short rows at the start of the neck ribbing with size 5 needles followed by 2 whole rows to resolve all double GS sts, then switched to size 4 for 1” and finished with size 3 needle for a modified (tighter) funnel neck.

I don’t know if my skeins were oversized or not because I didn’t weigh them before using them. I also modified the body by 8 sts around by casting on only 6 underarm stitches. I tapered the sleeves. All of these modifications could have contributed to my lower yardage used.

Very hard to capture the right color. The unfinished yoke color is most accurate on my device.
