I cast on 30 sts, using US size 6 needles. WHA-LA! I got 5 sts/" and 10 rows/ ". I must cast on 315 sts. I will start with the Lionbrand fishermens wool in Natural.
So far, I have written out (in longhand)
1- the pattern and its decreases up to the armpits.
2- The increases, back up to 315 sts.
Right before the ending of the decreases and up to the same length of increases will be a slimming stripe of brown. I just have to figure out how wide I want it to be.
The length of the arm going out from under the armpit will be 7". (70 rows=35 decreases@ 10 rows /") So when I lengthen the sleeves (and to keep it from showing) I will use Natures Brown, which will hide any picked up sts. cause mistakes don't show up well in dark colors. Hence ,the dark color going across my wicked bum.
