Second Knitted L-shape Sample

I have had another go at the sample.  This one is much better.   It fits the template jumper better and I like how it looks.


The L-shape has been knitted using 4mm needles and most of the yarn is double knitting or 4 ply used double thickness.  I have decided on a size which is 11 + 1 + 22 + 1 + 22 + 1 + 11 (69 stitches to cast on or pick up).
The details are as follows:
Row 1: With main colour, cast on 69sts.
Row 2: Knit.
Row 3: K10, K3tog, K20, K3tog, K20, K3tog, K10.
Row 4: Purl.
Row 5: Change to main colour and K9, K3tog, K18, K3tog, K18, K3tog, K9.
Row 6: Knit.
Row 7: Change colour and K8, K3tog, K16, K3tog, K16, K3tog, K8.
Row 8: Purl.
Row 9: K7, K3tog, K14, K3tog, K14, K3tog, K7.
Row 10: Purl.
Row 11: Change to main colour and K6, K3tog, K12, K3tog, K12, K3tog, K6.
Row 12: Knit.
Row 13: Change colour and K5, K3tog, K10, K3tog, K10, K3tog, K5.
Row 14: Purl.
Row 15: K4, K3tog, K8, K3tog, K8, K3tog, K4.
Row 16: Purl.
Row 17: Change to main colour and K3, K3tog, K6, K3tog, K6, K3tog, K3.
Row 18: Knit.
Row 19: Change colour and K2, K3tog, K4, K3tog, K4, K3tog, K2.
Row 20: Purl.
Row 21: K1, K3tog, K2, K3tog, K2, K3tog, K1.
Row 22: Purl.
Row 23: Change to main colour and K3tog 3 times.
Row 24: K3tog and fasten off.

 Unlike other modular knitting which I usually work in vertical strips, I am going to knit all the modules across the bottom of the jumper to make sure that it will fit the template reasonably closely.  I can always change the finished length of the jumper by adding a few more rows or a longer rib.  I could widen the jumper by knitting some side pieces, but I want to avoid that if can.
