I changed the pattern to knit the back and fronts all in one piece, so I had to fumble around with the number of stitches.

Cast on 224 sts: 56/112/56 (front/back/front)

I made it a little longer than the pattern called for since I’m tall and long-waisted. Also extended from the armholes up by about an inch.

november 1st: knitting is finished, shoulders sewn together and it fits…yay! Still need to crochet the border.

Done! I used 3.5 skeins.
