Notes

Mmmm, not a particularly good pattern. Great Ravelry notes from other knitters though!

Mods:

  • Cast on 16 for 16 pattern repeats.
  • Worked the pattern 4 times.
  • Decreased 14 sts at the end of the lace
  • Used 4 sets of double increase at each side every 4th round for bust shaping.
  • Knit an extra inch and a half in the stockingette section before binding off for the armholes.
  • Knit sleeves without shaping for 1 inch before beginning decreases to get the length I needed.

Blogged here

Great yarn though!
