Notes

Mods for 38 bust-cast on 270 knit in round. Sleeve alterations too due to limited yarn amounts. Love the stitch pattern - pretty elastic so fit is forgiving and very easily memorable with stitch markers to guide decreases…Notes below…

Twist on a attempt one. Needle broke on attempt two. Is this project cursed?!?

Change colour for first round and increase 9 stitches front and back to bring up to 144 total around - 288 total. Will be ignoring the increases and knit straight to armpits for 16” (ie working like the Jan sweater).

Knitting in lace pattern with stripe pattern as follows (taken from Lucy’s Interlocking Ripple blanket):
