Notes

What happens when you actually love cables? You make this pattern more complicated, of course ;)

  • mirrored the cables on each side so the big cables point down to the center
  • added bobbles to the back panel
  • swapped center back cable for a motif from Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible: 260 Exquisite Patterns by Hitomi Shida #132
  • CO in hem rib patt, knitting the hem, then increasing to the body stitch count (incs correspond to the called for hem decreases)

hate how the called-for bobble variant looks. Going with the simple bobbles from the Dorothy Hat instead.

30.10.2023

Lengthening so the total length to underarm is 14.5”. Modeling after Glenmore.

07.01.2024

Started sleeves a few days ago. Did short rows + 3 needle BO for the shoulders.

15.01.2024

The sleeve cuff numbers are whackadoodle. Completely bonkers. Need at least two more rounds of decreases than called for

17.01.2024

Sleeve math is fundamentally fucked. Frogged back to first round of decs. Reknitting @ dec every 4th round 23 times to 42sts.

21.01.2024

Broke my wrist. Is hibernating.

16.07.2024

We back, bay-bee. Now to study my notes and figure out these arm mods I was doing laughing

26.07.2024
