Notes

Made this in a hurry!
Designer said it could be!

Worked ribbing along lower edge.
Carried fingering yarn along with the alpaca boucle.
Worked sparkly acrylic along with the wool worsted for ribbing and rev st st sections. Alternated needles to get gauge with each section.
Added beads to rev st st sections.
Worked flat with button closure.

The Ultimo yarn takes some extra effort to work up.
Take breaks from time to time to give your wrists a break. I worked too long on it and my right wrists hurt.

Guage:
rev st st with fingering, sparkle and worsted:
US 11 8.0 mm needle 11 st 14 r / 4”.
Guage:
Alpaca Grande with fingering:
US 10.5 6.5 mm needle 10 1/2 st 16 r / 4”.

I don’t have the buttons on the top picture, nor the buttonhole placket, but it’s finished and has been given away.
