This is my fourth Deschain.
Second one for me.
Finished Deschain # 1,604.

My sisters-in-law and a couple nieces saw this when I wore it for a family gathering. Now, I’m making one for each of them. It’s either that or hang out at the bars at night, so…

Inserted a different motif in the center:
Pattern #143
Knitting Patterns Book 250 クチュール・ニット 模様編み250
(Japanese edition) 2005
or
Knitting Patterns Book 250 志田瞳经典编织花样250例
(Japanese edition) 2012
by
Hitomi Shida (志田　ひとみ)

I don’t know if Pattern # 143 is in this book or not.
Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible: 260 Exquisite Patterns by Hitomi Shida 2016
(English edition)
by Hitomi Shida, translated by Gayle Roehm.
Oddly, I have this book, but I can’t find it. That’s what happens when one moves.

I saw this beautiful motif on the blog:

Motif has regular lace stitches.
No complex dimensional stitches.

Expanded the motif from 17 st and 4 r leaf to 25 st and 6 r to achieve needed width.

I am happy to share the center panel I made, along with the hem border with anyone.
Happy to share back piece and sleeve adjustments as well.
I followed the basic instructions for the size I wanted.

Sleeves:
worked bottom up, hem pattern modified from first 14 r of Pattern # 143.
Increased 2 st every 7 rows while working the insert similarly to the front piece.
Natural shaping creates a gentle sleeve cap.
