I'll be making the waist band longer and the rear end roomier too.
Also, my stitch counts throughout the pattern differ from those in the book as mine is a smaller version.
I started with 64 CO and making the waist 2 inches.
Added 4 stitches to the body on #5 needles when done with the waist band, on the 1st row of knit before beginning the short row increases. 68 stitches. marker at 34.
Back shaping:
Used smallest stitch count in instructions.
Marked last row's stitches before wrap w/ the "locking marker. " Locking means not slipped each row like the one at 34 stitches, I guessed.
worked all stitches in stockinette for 5 rows, then repeated the 8 short row, to make rear roomier.
Took the 3 inches length from the "locking marker. "
