I love this top! It is my most favorite hand knit. I have never wanted to knit something twice but I think I will knit this again in another color and with a few mods possibly.
Gauge swatch: 19st/ 25 rows in 4” = 4.75/ 6.25
Yarn bled quite a bit while soaking and grew 4.5/6.5
According to my math skills I should cast on 120. There will be 15 in the first and last sections with 30 in each of the remaining 3 sections.
Fingers crossed swatches aren’t dirty liars.

HINT for Round 2: k1 on previous row k2tog, then in double yarn over k1 and p1, then k1 on previous row k2tog = 4 stsrepeat. So, you are putting a K and a P into that double YO.
5-4-- repeated lace only twice.
5-6--I’m finished the body of the sweater. This is a fast knit!
5-7--finished body BO with JSSBO. Knit 4 rounds in st st on sleeves then 5 rounds in ribbing. BO with JSSBO. Did a crochet chain around neckline to stabilize as demonstrated by the Yarn Harlot and Whoa Mama it is sturdy and purdy! Just need to block and weave in the ends now.

FUTURE REDUX MODS:

1. continue the lace on the shoulder portion after the body switches to stockinette so that I can have shorter sleeves
2. OR separate for front and back when shoulder portion is just long enough to count as a strap
3. Do only two body increases as 3 was slightly too much
4. Add lace to bottom instead of ribbing
