Notes

15-01-2023

Note: my flat knitting is tighter then in the rnd… should go down a needle size when changing to in the round

US 9 flat
US 8 in the rnd
US 6 ribbing

Sleeves - size 6 mod

Picked up 7 on each side to close the gap (89 sts) and only did the decrease listed in the pattern, giving me two extra sts.

I did 12 chart repeats and I did the decreases on the same cable round (63 sts)
1 extra cable repeat plus 3 rounds —> US6 for 4th round
P2 tog with the last stitch of round and 1st stitch of new round -> replace marker
Now K1 P1 for 20 rnds
Rnd 21 is double knit setup for tubular bind off

The two extra sts and only doing 12 decreases allowed the ribbing to not cut into the cables
