Notes

I found an optional method for adding the stitches between the back and front sections. (Left side increases in Tunisian Crochet)

I tried the method for adding stitches in the pattern but I had a hard time keeping the stitches from being very loose. As soon as my new Extended Tunisian Hook arrives I’m going to try that row again with the new method and see if the stitches look better.

March 6, 2013: I got the extended hook and have finished the back and sides (fronts) and I am attempting to start the sleeves. I am having trouble almost working in the round. I looked into the technique of Tunisian in the round. Since I have already started the sleeve I think I will use a variation of the Tunisian in the Round Loop Method. If I make this sweater again I will either try the Loop Method or maybe the other method I saw using a double ended Extended Tunisian Hook.

Inceased stitiches on trim to starting with chain of 13.

If I make this again for myself I will use a bigger hook. It fits just a bit snug. I expected a bit looser fit.

I made patch pockets of 13 rows of pattern and 6 stitch ribbing at the top.
