Ribbing? I don't need no Stinkin' Ribbing!
Don't get me wrong, the original pattern is fabulous, but me being the adventurous Leo that I am, had to go and change it up.
(No, I'm not sprouting wings, stupid bra)
Yarn: Cotton Fleece in "Nymph" about 2 1/2 Skeins
Size: The 36"
Mods: Ok, so I added in some waist shaping about 3 inches after the patterned shaping. 3 repeats of K1FB before and after the arm markers and 2 rounds plain stockinette between each. Then 3 inches before where I wanted it to end, I started the lace pattern again. The first 2 times I repeated the first round of lace, I did do the increases. If I could rewind time, I wouldn't do this, it didn't really need it, but it's all good. I repeated the lace pattern 6 times as for the top.
Me likee.

I Really like the lace at the bottom!
NICE. Love how you put the lace part at the bottom - great idea.
Thank you!
Fantastic. And since I bought yarn to make 6 (!!!) of these, I may use your modifications on one.
OMG, I really love the lace on the bottom it's such a nice way to change the look. I will be a copycat. :0)
how inspired to add lace at botton! it looks lovely.
Great job! Love your modification!
That looks fabulous. Great idea to put the lace on the bottom.
That looks great! I am almost to the end of mine and may copycat on this one or the next one I make!
That looks great. I had thought about doing that but was too chicken. I'm making one for my mom now and may do the same.
Your lace modification is inspired - bravo! What cast on did you use for the neck? I'm still trying to decide how to start off!
I used the backward loop, as specified. I bound off the arm ribbing using a grafted bind-off and bound off the bottom lace in the traditional style. Right after the final lace row repeat - so no round of plain knit after, just binding off.
Amazing Girl! Awesome! :)
I love the lace part at the bottom!! Great job.
On your blog, you mention it grew in length after blocking. . . Much?
Thanks, and again, it's beautiful! If I make one for myself, I intended to use Nymph!
Not "much" but the perfect amount. Comparing it to this pic, the stockinette portion comes right to the top of the pant line - so no skin is showing through the lace.
