Vintage undyed Bawneen became this:



Inspired by Vicki's Fibonacci Sweater, I wanted a boxy, deep V neck cardigan.



Knit in the round using Elizabeth Zimmerman Percentage Formula.

• provisional cast-on 160 stitches. worked body upwards til decided to start V neck. Steek planned for end of round where colors change
• Body worked on US9 addi circulars at 4 stitches/6 rows per inch
  
• V neck created by decreasing on stitch at each side of steek every 6th row.
• at underarms, put 12 stitches on holder and provisionally cast-on 40 stitches
• worked the usual raglan decreases til done
• reinforced steek using crochet method
• cut steek
• picked up the live stitches at the bottom, worked K1p1 ribbing back and forth on US7 addi circular needle
• picked up button-band/collar on US7 addis, worked 6 ridges of garter stitch including three buttonholes.

Now I am working the sleeves on DPNs top-down. I was too impatient to finish the body and see if it was actually going to fit. As kmkat noted, changing direction using a provisional cast-on does shift the stitches a half-stitch. I swatched to make sure this wasn't a problem, and sure enough, given the stockinette stitch and the rustic nature of the wool, this is not noticeable.
