Notes

Binding off in ribbing for the sleeves was very tight. There was no stretch even when I knit loose. So I bind off using the “Simply stretchy bind off” method from VeryPink Knits. Here’s a link to their video: https://youtu.be/SbzeEg6XMwM

Other than the bind off, this project was a lot of fun. The finished top looks vintage and it fits comfortably.

Just one suggestion, when knitting the colorwork, knit loosely otherwise the floats won’t expand as much as the stockinette portion.
