I finished up the back last night. It took me several tries before I liked the way the armhole and neck shaping came out. The pattern calls for repeating the eyelet chart twice and then repeating the last 4 rows of the eyelet chart until the armhole is the appropriate length, but I found that the k2tog, yo rows made the upper part of that section wider than the rest, so I did another repeat of the eyelet chart, which put me at the perfect armhole length and then went right into the neck and shoulder shaping. I did a total of 14 repeats of the eyelet chart before I started the shaping, which makes my tunic 28 inches long, measured from the underarm. The pattern calls for 21.5 inches.
