There were parts of this pattern that were confusing so def not for beginners. I took some time off from this knit to do test knits so it was slow going. I had to go down a few needle sizes to get guage and this was def a labor of love but so worth it. I added 5 extra repeats to the sleeve after the increases. Sleeve cap set up was off…I should have moved my BOR marker 4 sts to the left but I just decreased 4 at beginning and added 4 at the end evenly to get the right st count. I had to sew the one sleeve in twice bc I wasn’t careful enough to make them even so be careful! Love this yarn and the Finished object!
