FO: Becky (Again)

Color me happy. Or purple. Or both.

Becky top

Pattern: Becky, from Debbie Bliss Summer Essentials
Needles: US 5 / 3.75mm
Size: Smallest plus 2 stitches each on front and back pieces
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cathay, Purple, 6.2 skeins

Ravelry project page here.

Modifications were pretty much the same as the green one I made, but with narrower shoulders on the front piece.

Used a 6-stitch 1×1 rib at each armhole edge.

Made the top longer, and also worked 5 rows of garter stitch at the hem instead of 3.

Did waist shaping on the front piece to match the back.

Started the V-neck 3 cables higher than specified in the pattern.
