I used a long tail cast on, started with a WS row, and worked 15 rows of rib instead of 14.
I used ssk instead of skp and ssp instead of p2togtbl.
I started the armhole shaping at 16” instead of 15” for a finished length of 24.75” instead of 23.75”.
Since my row gauge was off I worked 48 rows of raglan shaping instead of 46 rows.
I had issues with the neck being too narrow and the raglan seams accentuating my broad shoulders so I increased the back neck width and made the front neck deeper.
I should’ve knit the sleeves 18” long instead of 19” long after I changed the raglan neck width, but I didn’t feel like re-knitting them.
Back Raglan Shaping: BO 5 sts twice, work 2 rows decreasing every row, work 44 rows decreasing every RS row - 44 sts for back neck instead of 36 sts
Front Neck Shaping (14 rows): work as for back through row 34 of raglan shaping - 56 sts (22 sts for center front neck, 17 sts each side of neck), “shape neck”, decrease every row 8 times, work 5 rows without neck shaping but instead of p2tog on last row, work even
For the sleeves I increased to 74 sts instead of 78 sts for a 12.5” upper arm circumference. I worked the first increase on row 7, increased every 10th row to 70 sts, increased every 12th row to 74 sts, then worked 2” even.
Sleeve Raglan Shaping: BO 5 sts twice, work 2 rows even, work 44 rows decreasing every RS row to 20 sts
I worked the neck rib in the round instead of flat. I picked up 92 sts instead of 94 sts. I worked 5 rounds of neck rib instead of 7 rounds.
