Notes

I didn’t like how the final ribbing was sitting, so ripped everything back to the beginning squares on 7 September - work 68 clusters while omitting ch1, 34 on each side - first cluster of each row is stacked tc and 2dc - final cluster is 2dc and a tc - work yoke for 13 rows as per pattern without the ch1 between clusters

Split for sleeves: count 16 clusters, place marker between clusters, count 14 clusters, place marker - repeat on other side - continue as per pattern for 2XL

Sleeves: attach to bottom centre with WS facing - work 20 clusters - repeat without any decreases for a total of 39 rows - cuff: with smaller hook, ch14 and blo-sc rib - slst to body of sleeve 4 times (3 in top of granny cluster and 1 in-between clusters)

Final ribbing: with larger hook, sc around bottom and front edge - with smaller hook, ch15 and blo-hdc across bottom edge - ch11 and blo-hdc around front edge - join ribbing to body with 3 slst

See below for pocket instructions


Work squares to size 3XL while omitting ch1 between clusters - continue body following 2XL directions with ch1 between clusters - work 17 rows before closing sides and flattening bottom

Pockets:
Work a diagonal granny stripe square, starting with stacked tc ch1 gc ch1 tc - turn stacked tc gc in all ch-sp with ch1 between clusters and finish with tc - do not work a ch1 between tc and cluster at start or end of row - work for 9 rows then decrease by skipping the first and last cluster of each row - 28sc across long edge, ch6 and work sc-blo ribbing, joining to pocket by slst to 2st

Sleeves:
Attach to bottom centre with RS facing and work for 40 rows without any decreases - for ribbing, ch10 using smaller hook and work sc-blo across - attach to sleeve by slst to 4 sts
