Notes

Ben is tall, so I started the side decreases at 7” from front cast on instead of 4”. This was round 25 on the chart.
Also, I changed the ssk to skp.

I switched the skp back to ssk.
I made lots of alterations to the size of this sweater, but the notes are scribbled all over scrap papers. I will add them later.
It took almost exactly 10 skeins even with the added rows.

Some scribbled notes: arm 113 rounds (13 ribbing plus 1 set up round and 99 pattern rounds). I started the increase rounds after 5 inches instead of 4 inches. I added approx 1-1.5 inches to sleeve caps as noted below. Before dec rows- add 2 rows. Then do dec row 1, ws row 1, dec row 2, ws row 2. Add 2 rows. Then dec rows 3-6 and ws rows. Add 2 rows. Finish the remaining dec rows. It calls for 15 dec sets, but the numbers only add up with 14 dec rows, so I think it’s an error in the pattern. Sleeve length 27.5” arm 20” and cap 7-7.5”

Neck edge pu 70 sts. 5 rounds of k1, p1 and then stretchy bo.
