Notes

Kitted size 2, all to pattern for the body, apart from the I-Cord. I used a 2 stitch I-Cord, rather than 3. I tried 3, but it looked bulky…possibly my yarn?
I made the straight body option.
For the sleeves, I changed the decrease rate, to account for making long sleeves. I made 5 decreases on the 14th round, and 5 on the 13th round.

The neck looked like it would stretch too much after blocking (possibly because I was using alpaca?), so I picked up every stitch at the cast on, using a 3mm needle, then added the same finishing as the hem and sleeves.
For instructions on grafting I-Cord in the round, skip to 3:00 minutes in:
