I made my own version as a cardigan. I used 7mm for the rib and 8mm for the main with Aran weight yarn. I used 48 stitches for the two fronts and sleeves with 100 stitches for the back. All up I think it took me about 30 hours.
If I make it, I will use a circular needle and cast on all the front and back stitches at once and knit it in one piece up to the armhole. I hate sewing the pieces together.😊
I’ve seen several people try this no one finishes 😂 I’d try it on size 8 needles and maybe an aaron this is even my size I’m a 16 in vintage I’d have to make the waist smaller though I might try it! Yours looks really big so I definitely need to play with the sizes
I've seen that too and don't understand why they abandoned it.. The bust is more of a loose 36" when done. I'm going to resize it for myself and go down a few needle sizes.
Since you started with: 'take BONE needles' I doubt this would have been knitted on a knitting knitting machine. And I if you downloaded this pattern for free - you repeatedly mentioned that it was free on the website - then you should not put it behind a pay pay curtain.
