NOTES

I originally was going to use 4 colors, but the 4th color that I purchased - Knit Picks Palette Hyacinth - was too close in value to Lantana. So, I decided to only use 3 colors. This also reduced the number of three color rows.

MODIFICATIONS

• 1x1 tubular cast off ribbing (sleeves & hem)

• Sleeves are 3/4 length, with no decreases and 1x1 tubular cast off

• Redid the neckline:

  • Cut off the neckline (and all of the short rows) and used US Size 1 (2.25mm) needles to cast on a row

  • Row 2: K5, K2tog around

  • Row 3: K8, K2tog around

  • Row 4: (switched to US 3 needles) Knit 4 German short rows

  • Row 5: Knit around

  • Row 6: cast off

Final Thoughts

I really like the colorwork; however, I’ve decided that from now on I will need to do a provisional cast on for top down necklines. As I do not love having to cut into my knits if the neckline is a wonky fit on me.
