Notes

Gauge with #10.5 after soak. I love this yarn!

Chinese Waitress cast-on : hope blocking takes out the curl. Cast on for seamless body, removing seam allowance stitches at each side.

Front edge stitches:
RS: K1 thru the back loop, k1 ( continue pattern to last 2 stitches) K1, S1 with yarn in front
WS: K1 thru the back loop, P1 ( continue in pattern to last 2 stitches) P1, S1 with yarn in front

Do not bind off shoulders or back

Sleeve with cable detail:

Sleeves done in DPNS in the round.

    • The first increases were done as K stitches (as M1) before and after stitch 18 & 19. Subsequent increases added as P stitches on either side of the cable.

M1 before stitch 18 and after stitch 19.
Work 3 rows even in pattern
( pattern ) C2F at stitch 18 ( pattern to end of row)

Repeat CF2 every 5 rows

Shoulder shaping with short rows. 3 needle bind off at shoulders.

Collar finished after shoulder “seams”, working from each side and Kitchener stitch join at center back.

Live stitch from back neck edge incorporated into collar edge - 1 stitch either SSK or P2tog every other row - no seaming required.
