May 2021.
Back in 2010 when I designed this pattern I never heard of jogless knitting.
Now I use these technique all the time and they make all the difference!
No more disconnected stripes.
All neat and tidy.
Next to that I knit it on 2.75 mm (pattern calls for 2.5mm) because I knit more tightly now.
And I cast on more stitches (144) and knit2/purl2 instead knit1/purl1 for a more stretchy cuff.

I haven’t described this technique in the pattern, it would make it unnecessarily complicated and long. You can easily find it on internet.
