I never do this
What, you may ask? Have a clean spot this big on the dining table? Take pictures of knitting this early on a Sunday morning?
Assemble knitting as I go.
But I have also never knit a left front (for an adult) that starts with 30 stitches, then decreases to FEWER. Is this going to fit?
I started with a sleeve, my gauge swatch. Looked good, even a little capacious. The back was as fun and quick to knit but I got worried that there might be a width issue, shall we say. The yarn is bouncy (Blackberry Ridge, medium weight) but a stretchy bottom is not the look I'm going for.
Next step had to be a front.
There is still a 5-inch button band.
