Bottom ribbing change
I didn’t like the way the bottom ribbing pulled in, even after trying it again going up to the body’s needle size, so I cast on the number of stitches after all of the increases (93 for XS/S) and used the same size needle (US #8) for all of the front and back.

Raglan decrease change
I couldn’t get the WS raglan decreases to work. Somehow I would drop one of the stitches when I worked the RS and with this stitch pattern it is extremely tedious to fix. So, on WS instead of working the decrease, I worked the 3 stitches that made the decrease as they appeared (P-K-P). Then on the RS I did a left-lean triple decrease (Slip1, K2tog PSSO) and a right-lean triple decrease (K3tog) at the appropriate point of the row.

Sleeve Changes
Sleeve cuffs were too tight for my wrists and “ballooned” too much for my liking. Cast on with larger needles and added 4 stitches to cast on. Reduced 4-row increase repeats from 5 to 4 repeats (for smallest size) to keep stitch counts consistent for raglan shaping.
