Notes

So I made my granddaughters the lulu junior out of this yarn because they had to wear like iron and be machine wash and dry. I liked the pullover so much that I decided to make myself one. I was too lazy to do a swatch from my extensive stash, so yeah, here we are! hahahahaha

Unblocked and blocked gauge:
ILA 6 is 22s x 29r and 21 x 28r

Back, 65 r to arm incr.
32r arm to rib
1 r ss in #4
29r of rib

neck, modified to a “soft v” …
left front, 8 rows after pickup, start every other row increases. stopped the increases when casting 8 stitches would equal the total for the front. followed the crew neck for lulu junior.

More detailed instructions for the v-neck mod:
I did the size Med. In the section where you are knitting the right/left front increases, where it told me to knit increase rows 1 & 2 six times, I worked them 14 times. This made my right (and left) front 30 stitches each instead of twenty 24. Then instead of casting on 18 for a total of 68 stitches, I cast on 8, for a total of 68. For the crew neck, I picked up stitches, 1 for I around the neck, k1/p1 for 5 rows, k1, s1pwyif for 3 rows, k1/p1 for 5 rows and then loosely whip stitched the live stitches to the pick up row on the inside.

arm rib, 139
