Notes

The contiguous shaping was new to me and very challenging. With help from my LYS and writing out everything in detail, I got through it. More stitch counts would have been helpful.

Ribbing on body:
US 7 needle for 8 rows. Change to US 6 for 8 rows. Back to US 7 for 26 rows. Change to US 8 for 15 rows.
BO with US 9.

Sleeve:
PU 11 st in underarm: 40 + 11 = 51 total.
Decreases: Row 14 - 2 st (3 st before M: K2tog, K1, sl M, K1, ssk)
Dec 2 st on Row 9 and every 9th row 3 more times.
Change to US 6 dpn’s and begin ribbing: 37 rows
Change to US 5: 17 rows, BO with US 6

I wanted to make a really soft, cozy like a sweatshirt sweater and this is it. Yarn is super scrunchy. :)

If I make it again, I’ll make it closer fitting in the midsection and pick up one more stitch in the underarms.
