Notes

This was made on the kh260 with ribber and the pieces joined together on my double bed kx350.

I love the end result.

First sweater for my husband that was long overdue!!!

My gauge was different so I had to recalculate all the numbers. It was 15 sts by 24 rows, the pattern is 17 sts and 17 x 22. So I made the small/medium size to get a large.

It worked out great, except the sleeves were a little long but they can be folded back and it looks perfect.

I would like to make this again with a better yarn. I should have tighten the tension for the neck band to T5.

The pattern is a bit too general at times… somethings can be confusing for a novice.
