Notes

08/13/2021: Got gauge

Got gauge using US 6 (4.0mm) needle.

I am using my Lykke blush interchangeable needles, both 3.5” and 5” sets.

But - I will use US 7 (4.5mm) and knit Size 2 to get a size somewhere between Size 2 and Size 3 since I want something in between these two sizes.

08/21/2021: Finished body

After finishing yoke increases, I knit 54 stockinette rounds; ~ 8 1/2” using US 7 (4.5mm) and 40” cable.

After the sleeve separation, I knit 58 stockinette rounds ~ 8 1/2”.

Then I knit the pocket rounds.
I worked the pocket lining alternating CC1 & CC2 every two rows.

I switched to my US 6 (4.0mm) needle and knit K1P1 ribbing for 15 rounds ~ 2”.

08/22/2021: Working on sleeves

I started with a 16” cable and a 3.5” US 7 (4.5mm) needle - Lykke blush interchangeables.

I knit 16 rounds ~2 1/4” before beginning decreases.

I switched to my Chiaogoo blue shorties, 6” cable, US 7 (4.5mm), one 3” needle and one 2” needle after all sleeve decreases were completed.

I knit a total of 106 rounds ~ 15 1/4” before beginning colorwork.

I knit 5 rounds of K1P1 ribbing using US 6 (4.0mm) blue Chiaogoo shorties, 2” & 3” needle and 6” cable.
