Notes

Swatch on 7. Matches stitch gauge in both rib and pattern. Off by 2 rows on row gauge for rib and pattern, as always.

Modifications
I’m short grin. Which means a narrower yoke, shorter torso, and shorter arms, so I always follow the measurement suggestions rather than the number of rounds. It makes for a better fit for me.

I followed instructions for size 7 with the following exceptions:

  • Stopped for arm hole/body join at 7in
  • Picked up arm stitches for the size 6 pattern
  • Started sleeve decreases immediately and only decreased to stitch count for size 7. (my short arms means there’s not a lot of sleeve left to knit with drop shoulder designs).

I love how Cascade 220 blocks out and the cables are just so lovely.
