Notes

C1-purple
C2-green
C3-navy
C4-cream
had navy and cream leftover from another project and bought the purple and green with a fall Soldotna in mind … the navy & purple have almost no contrast, and I chose a color placement that only had those two colors next to each other for three rounds.

followed the 2nd size, and with my tighter gauge, finished ~ 35” bust (2” positive ease) and 12” length.

Mods:

  1. cast on 116st (size 2 after first set of increases, so skipped that set).
  2. worked short rows beginning k35, w&t, then working 2 more sets, 4 stitches past the previous w&t (so shorter rows -> longer rows, because top-down)
  3. added 15 rounds to the yoke to accommodate my tighter row gauge: +3 after the short rows before the chart, + 6 in the chart (+1 betw 4/5 incr, +2 betw 5/6 incr, +1 repeating rnd 26, +2 betw 8/9 incr), +6 after chart (i.e., continue the chart pattern as for bigger sizes)
  4. added length
  5. worked neck & sleeve ribbing 7 rounds total, body ribbing 11 rounds total really pleased with the fit, so whew! math works!
