Notes

Notes on Colour

For my main colour I used two strands of fingering weight.
One strand was Wishboneyarns colourway Smoke and Mirrors(a blue ish colourway), the other strand was made up of my leftovers from previous projects ( yarns included were Misslamotteyarns, Yamayarns and Wishboneyarn.)

Main colour yardage 271g/ 975.6m

I then added bands of colour between the zigzags

So colours are from top to hem/cuff:

1 Main colour
2 Zigzag in Malabrigo Piedras with Kidsilk
3 Malabrigo Plom
With colourwork in a fade of Wishbone yarns Marigold and Miss la Motte Autumn Vines
4 Zigzag in Piedras without Kidsilk
5 Main colour with colourwork in Yama Honey Mustard
6 Zigzag in Malabrigo Piedras with Kidsilk
7 Malabrigo Plomo
With colourwork in a fade of Wishboneyarns Marigold and Miss la Motte Autumn Vines
8 Zigzag in Malabrigo Piedras without Kidsilk
9 Main Colour
With Colourwork in Yama yarn Honey Mustard
Continuing in Main Colour to cast off

I Knit size 2
For a bust size 93cm and height 1.75cm

Modifications
I did a repeat of chart 4 as suggested in pattern for a slightly longer length

Yoke depth
Note my gauge was one stitch more than pattern at 21st and one stitch less in rows at 24rows
From top ending at second Zigzag18cm
From top ending at fourth zigzag 30cm
From top to underarm 34cm

Underarm to hem 27cm

I hope this all helps
