Notes

Twisted German cast on.

Used this technique for the edges at the split hem instead of the two garter stitches:

Not sure I did the shoulders exactly right. woman-shrugging

Shortened the sleeves to 3/4 length by omitting last group of decrease rows and starting cuff ribbing without the cuff increases.

The shoulders were so different than usual that I didn’t notice that the front neck was only 2cm from the shoulder seam. Couldn’t pull the ribbed neck over my head, so frogged back to neck. Picked up stitches around the neck on the larger needles, then increased one stitch after every third stitch on row 1, knit 5 more rows, then used stretchy bind off (knit 2 tog TBL, pass st back to left needle, repeat).
