Notes

21/06 Decided to redo the neck band because the width of R/L bands looked uneven.
Now, i’m happy with it! (Redid twice. Each of the pics is here)

Test for joujouka’s Avril in April
I had great fun days to work her new potential pattern, including fun times to correspond with her.
I thank joujouka for giving me the opportunity to do this and experience “Contiguous Set-In Sleeves” which I wanted to try.
Gauge: 18stsx24rows on JP#9(4.8mm)
Follow the size of XS

8rows of cream and 1row of gray till underarm,
then shorten the width, 7rows of cream.

  • Instead of K(p)fb, I do M1L/R for stripe appearance.

  • Repeat 7times before starting ‘Sleeve cap’ section.

  • Did cable CO method to match the thickness of strip, instead of Backward Loop CO, when building a front neck.

  • Moved the beginnig of a round to B2 marker, at the underarm, to hide a little untidiness of strip lines. And, I changed the width of the stripe to save the yarn.
