Construction can be improved by
-moving increases/decreases to first row of garter stripe (invisible and easier to remember)
-knitting body before sleeves
-knitting on 8 underarm stitches each for body
-picking up and knitting 8 underarm stitches for each sleeve
(less puckering/ better fit -- did not do this here but with second version in grey-red)
-adding fake slipstitch seams to hide color change

This sweater already came back to us, since it no longer fits Junior’s cousin… our luck! here, it is just perfect, and thus a confirmed size 80/86.
