Wednesday WIPs: Trellis

This tiny thing has given me no end of trouble. The pattern and the yarn and I cannot agree on sizing or gauge. Since I'm not making it with any specific baby in mind, that shouldn't matter, right? Nevertheless, I cast it on multiple times before I was satisfied that I knew what would result (and that I hadn't miscounted my stitches).

Also, the assumption on the designer's part that Kitchener stitch results in an invisible seam in a heavily patterned design is... suspect. The shoulders aren't too bad. I'm worried about the back of the neck - the collar is knit in two pieces and joined there with Kitchener stitch.

At least it was the easiest setting in of sleeves I've ever attempted, once I stopped trying to apply all the helpful tricks I've been taught. It was a pretty much one-to-one match of stitches.

There were lots of mods on Ravelry, none of which I used. I'm interested in seeing how the pattern turns out as written.
