Modified pattern to match commercially-made sweater as much as possible for custom knit project.

Knit swatch in the round to test out different rolled cuff options and helical striping.

First swatch on US 5:
22 sts x 32 rows = 4” on stockinette portion -- exactly matches pattern gauge, which NEVER happens for me!

Pattern modifications:
CO using larger needle for looser-fitting neck using twisted German cast-on.

After completing yoke increases, continued knitting until raglan armhole line measured 10.5” for deeper armhole.

Changed pattern shaping in body to create a-line silhouette (eliminated decreases and increased 4 sts at side body every 10 rows). Knit 2” plain stockinette rolled hem for body.
