| Pattern name: | Krista from White Lies Designs |
| Modifications: | There were many. I definitely added length in the body, and instead of using a smaller needle at the waist, I included waist decreases and increases. I had to redo the shoulder shaping to make room in the shoulders. I also did a 3/4 length sleeve instead of a cap sleeve - I tried for a slight bell in the lace by knitting a larger lace cuff, then going down to the correct sleeve size, but the effect is a little more subtle than I was going for (I thought I’d err on the side of caution). Also, I knit the body in the round instead of flat - rather than omit the two stitches for the the front and two for the back (for seaming) I had to omit four from each, as it turns out the lace wasn’t written to be continuous. I like my lace continuous. :) Oh, and my gauge was smaller, so I had to knit a larger size. |
