Notes

This yarn was quite heavy, although it stated Dk on the ball band it was more an Aran weight. I got gauge on 4.5mm needles.
I started doing the size 41” but it was turning out too wide so knit the 37” size instead.
For the armholes I knit 8 1/2 inches and only increased the sleeves to 74 stitches.

I ran out of yarn with only the neckband to do:( Will have to wait for the order to come in the post to finish this.

I picked up 120 stitches for the neck band and after 8 rounds decreased two stitches at the edge of each centre cable.
