Notes

Ellen wants an off the shoulder, soft big sweater, this may be it! body shaping from #11 vogue knitting winter 98/99 and add 2”. This is the most gorgeous color pink yarn!

Gauge was 10 sts and 14 r per 4”. I altered the pattern accordingly, cast on 92 sts and dec 12 for waist shaping. I added 2” to body length and knit it in the round. Knit arms in the round and added to body at underarm, completed rest circularly in one piece. This fat yarn does NOT need to have bulky seams as well. I added 4 rows of short row shaping for bust and along with increasing the size of needle for last half of collar, I added 4 sts increases in the purl sections (2 in front, 2 in back) for added flare of collar.
Yarn washed and blocked quite nicely, is soft enough for next to the skin war. Modeled by by knitting buddy lisarios in her shop.
Now - to see if it fits and is what she wants!
