Notes

General
Would have prefered to have had all sections charted instead of this mix of charts and written directions which always makes me worry I’m missing something.

Using Grumperina's method for cabling without a cable needle.

Used 2.5mm needles for cuff and first pattern repat, 2.25 for the reminder.
