Finished Measurements (After Blocking)
Bust: 16.5”(flat)
Length: 22 3/4 (from shoulder at neck to bottom)

Bind Off Used I-cord BO. On bottom edge used a psso and on neck used a k2tog tbl

Blocking Tried to block the chest a bit wider since my bust tends to be a bit larger for petite frame.

Back Knit in st st and established trim for 30 rows instead of 28 because of gauge (to achieve 3.5”).

Begin Stockinette and side rib Knit only in Stockinette. No side rib.

Swatch: Entire swatch measures about 3 7/8” wide x 4 1/4” long. HOWEVER. When I count middle sts it is 18sts x 25.5 R = 3” which is the same st guage and 0.5r bigger than round/row gauge. THEREFORE:

Pattern Gauge:
24 sts x 32 rnds = 4”
6 sts x 8 rnds = 1”
Personal Gauge:
24 sts x 34 rnds = 4”
6 sts x 8.5 rnds = 1”
(Spent so much time figuring my gauge and I feel like it didn’t translate at all.)

Needles: 29” & 16” circular US4
