Slip the 25st sections each onto their own waste yarn for the sleeves and continue to knit in the round, starting your colorwork chart here.

Shaping details to come… still knitting my prototypes in various gauge fingering yarns….

Note: Pacific Yarn Co doodles are set up for 24 st width charts (or smaller segments that add up to 24 in groups) so on most rows you will have 8 extra stitches between the motifs… you may want to draw your chart out and fill in the empty space with small filler motifs, or if they are part of the pattern, such as flowers or starbursts, you may want to move them to better distribute your colors. Keep floats small… if I have 4 or more stitches before a color is used again I am catching it by the 3rd stitch for every 4-5 stitches give or take and using the tails to pick up any loose floats from the outer edges if needed.
