Post blocking gauge in pattern:
21st = 27 rows = 4”
All ribbing on US5:
16st = 16 rows = 2”

Followed pattern pretty much. Modifications include the following:

1. Cast on provisionally, knit neckband at the end, picking up live stitches. Grafted neckband down instead of binding off and sewing down. I think this creates a neater finish.
2. Longer hem, longer cuffs for extra cozy.
3. Created balloon sleeves by eliminating sleeve decreases, and knitting straight until I reached the cuffs. The row before the cuff, I dropped the needle size to a US5, and k1, k2tog all the way around to get 2/3 as many stitchs as I used for the rest of the sleeve.
