Cutting will commence shortly.
To set up the steek, at the top of the shoulder I cast on an extra 5 sts where the armhole will go. Then I continued knitting round and round for 8.5″, the length of the armhole, cast off those 5 sts and continued to knit round and round for the body.
So here we are. I’m ready with the scissors. But first, I ran a length of grey yarn down on either side of the 5 steek sts.
Then with cream coloured yarn I crocheted a slip stitch through the two legs of a column of sts, inside the grey line.
Now I cut.
Now that both armholes are open my DIL can try it on for some final measurements.
Just a couple more inches needed on the body for a cropped sweater. Then the rest of the summer will be sleeve knitting.
She likes it so I’m happy.
Cheers, Deb
