Notes

Assumed gauge of 34 rows = 4” for making pattern. 8.5 rows per inch.

Desired length ~20”. 168 rows/6 colors = 28 rows per color, 19.76” length.

Actual gauge pre-blocking: 6 spi/24 sp 4”; 8.5 rows per inch.

Colors used, in order:

Coquette Deux
Blood Runs Cold
The Fox

Citrus (tosh sock)
Citrus (Claudia)
Mango

Chamomile
Candlewick

Spring Greens
Jade
Forsta

Baltic
Artic
Fathom

Divine
Amethyst

Followed pattern for smallest size, but skipped keyhole in back and skipped the repeat of short rows 5 and 6 (turned some more singlenincreases into double increases to get to right number).

Added in spring greens after making spreadsheet, so it’s a little off in that section.

Did a ribbing pattern underarms (p1, k1, p1, k1, p1), and then started some decreases on either side of it (k2tog 2 stitches before first p1; ssk of 2 stitches after last p1), every 10 rows, until ____.

Sleeves:
Picked up 10 sts. Next row, k2tog across edge of picked up sts and first st that had been on scrap yarn. Center of sleeve is P1, K1, P1. Decrease on both sides every 11 rows.

Neckline: Did applied I-cord with two sides pickup like in Helen’s birthday sundress. Picked up 5/6 stitches.
