A beautiful birthday present for a young lady.

Worked flat in two pieces.
Added 2” to lower torso and 1/2” upper torso to allow for tumble dry shrinkage. It does shrink a bit in length, but easily lengthens with a few tugs, so one can wear it as desired.
Worked neckband and arm opening ribbings flat.
Worked very stretchy bind off.

Pattern in the round has an odd number of 8 stitch motifs.
Added 4 stitches per piece for an even number of motifs.
Compensated for the added stitches by decreasing one more stitch at each underarm area per side and by having one more stitch to bind off at each shoulder. Those changes don’t affect the fit.
