Notes

Added 2 short rows in the back between the raglan markers to increase the height of the back neck.

Because the color changes were conducted at the neck edge when working flat, once the front neck was joined and the beginning of the round was moved to to the left front raglan marker, I broke the yarn at the front at the end of the 6th round and moved the rest of the left front stitches to the right needle in order to begin the next color at the new beginning of the round. If I had worked the left front stitches to the new beginning of the round, I would have had an extra row of the CC only on the left front stitches.

After splitting for the underarms and working a few rows, I realized that I do NOT like the second CC stripe splitting the lower tip of the v-neck causing it to be misshapen. I am ripping back to before the second stripe and will continue the MC until 2 rows below the v-neck joined tip.

Worked 3 sets of decreases each side of the side marker at 7 row intervals to mimic waist shaping. Only worked one set of increases 2.5” from bottom hem. Worked a straight hem (ie no short rows for a longer back than front). One purl row then a 3-st icord hem.
