Notes

Testing for Paige. Cross back for size 32 is 12.6, so pretty close. So far, so good. The first section in Chart 1 is a little fiddly because you sometimes have to slide your work around to the other side so you can knit with the proper colour, but that’s only when working flat.

Body is done. No mods, other than to knit about half an inch more of ribbing at the hem. I fudged a couple of the slipped stitches at the side because I either forgot to do them or did them on one side but not the other, but I don’t think it’s terribly noticeable.

Sleeves: I accidentally knit the sleeves one size up, but I think they are fine. My shoulders are small but my arms are not as small, so I think it works fine.

I am very happy with this sweater. The pattern is really intuitive, especially after you join in the round, and I love the look.

Colours are a bit off in the photos; it’s dark and they’re from my phone.
