Notes

Cast on 130 sts on US 2’s- going for a more traditional fit. After 9 rows of ribbing, switched to US 3’s and knit 2 rows increasing to 162 sts. Did 4 sets of short rows. Knit 3 rows increasing to 168 evenly for 14 pattern repeats. Set markers. Began chart. After chart, separated for sleeves, but took 6 sts from each arm and added to the front to better fit my small frame and larger front.

For sleeves, picked up extra stitches to ensure no holes, and reduced to 70 stitches. Knit for 15 1/2” (151 rows) from underarm and switched to US 2’s for ribbing (k through back p) while reducing to 64 stitches.
