Notes

Going in, I thought my gauge was a bit off (bigger stitches and smaller rows), so I knit a smaller size than usual and added 2 extra rounds before the sleeve split (one after the chart, and one more after the raglan increases). I also added one stitch to the underarm cast on to work better with how I like to knit top-down sleeves. My finished measurements work - I have ~1” of positive ease at the bust and the length is ~12-1/2-13”

I think this is my first time knitting colorwork in a slippery cotton/bamboo blend and I do love how it turned out, but whoa, it’s not very forgiving. I do love, though, how the smooth yarn really pops the flowers!
