Step 1: Complete oval to desired width of sweater.
✅ Complete.
Step 2: For back of sweater, continue working the top half of the oval until the color of yarn is the same color as the outer round of the front oval.
While working the top half, flatten the side of the oval.
And... That's my next little puzzle. I know the basic formula. As I get to the edge, I work shorter stitches. Each row I'll start further back as the edge becomes flat rather than curvy. But I have to eyeball it, and this is not quite right.
I have some wiggle room as this part will be in the seam.
Anyway, the back needs a bit more length while the front is going to have a deeper neckline. I kind of have it worked out in my head, but we'll have to see if the actual physical piece works out the way I planned.
At least I have now completed the ovals. Now it's just a matter of figuring out how to assemble them. Progress.
