Notes

I’m really enjoying this cable pattern!

This boy is tall!
Knitted body to underarm - 21”
Sleeves to underarm - 22”

Decided we needed more stitches in the sleeves so I’m using the size 46 for sleeves. Need to do more decreases.

I messaged the designer about stitch counts for the sleeve decreases and got a very helpful, prompt answer.

I don’t think I got the right answer. There are way too many stitches to do as a saddle shoulder. Top of sleeve is still almost 6” across.

Continued decreases on the sleeves until I had 8 stitches for the saddle
