Did the size 2 instructions and knit the next 12 rows. Time to try on again after a wet spray. while it feels good from the underarm and down, it now is going to be too big in the body for me.

I have decided that I need to do a decrease. After measuring, etc., I’m going to decrease (K5 K2tog). I will then be back to the size 1 measurements for the body.

Did the decrease on the body stitches only, so am now down to 252 on the body. If I had just done size 1 I would have 248, so will continue knitting the next 11 rows and try on again. Am not doing the yarn overs.

Tried on again, fits pretty well. Have decided to decrease by 4 stitches. This will give me 248 stitches, the same amount I would have had for size 1. Am knitting straight down, no yarn overs.
