So the Ann Budd pattern is getting a complete rewrite.
I’ve been looking at it and trying to pre-figure everything out, but I decided to just jump in and figure it out while I’m knitting. So far so good!
I checked the gauge with the Wool of the Andes and size 8s, but it was big, so I bought some size 7s. The gauge is still a tiny big, but I’m going with it, I’m just knitting the smallest size sweater.
Like I said before about the Cambridge Jacket pattern, I’m changing it to be a pullover. I don’t trust a crocheted edge, they always curl up, so I added a rib bottom in pattern. I’m knitting a size small, so I cast on 185, K 46, placed marker for one arm, knit to 46 stitches from end, PM for second arm.
Join, PM for center, K1 *P3,K2, repeat from* around, end with K1.
K in pattern for 1 1/2 inches. I kept the P3 pattern for the 4 ribs closest to what will be the armpit on each of the fronts and back, so you are working a St st on the center 57 sts on both the front and back, and working a P3K2 rib for 38 sts, 19 sts on each side of arm markers.
Ribbing Done!
So far so good! I finished the ribbing and I’m working on the body. For 14 1/2 inches. The sizing looks good! I love the yarn and the color is great.
Next stop armholes! But these 14 1/2 inches are going to take a while.
