Notes

knitting in the round with a larger gauge to making this longer by about 5” or so, so the panels start closer to the knee, by lengthening the lace inserts by an inch each, increasing the stripes to an inch each , and casting on for the largest size, then decreasing down to what i need. improvising stash selections as i go…and strongly considering not doing the daisies.

co 180, pm repeat, join. 360 sts.
mods:
1st stripe: 1 row p in a, 5 row k stripe in b, 1 r k in a 1 r p in a
block section: 10 sts X 12 rows ea. place decreases in 9th row of each marked block.
2nd stripe dec row: k8, k2tog around 316 sts
k in oattern til 1st dec row of shaping, continue as written til desired length.

so the pattern part is done on this heavily modified design: different weight, shape, colors, length, crochet trim. all that’s left is gradually shaped stockinette til the waistband. planning the green stripe to hit right about the knee so the whole thing will swing. no daisies.

8/21/10: finish through all shaping, then put by on waste yarn to hold for sizing. waistband from cotlin, please.
