Notes

Gauge swatch is 20 sts by 29 rows for 4” on US 7 needles.

Adjusting pattern for gauge by adding 7 rows. Starting main cable 7 rows early (Row 40) and then I’ll just add one additional row between each waist increase and decrease (there are 7 total, lucky me). Should work out just fine.

Hindsight 20/20: I just got to the neckline. I should have added 8 rows to my pattern instead of 7 (multiple of 4) so that Cables 1 and 3 matched up properly when I started Charts B and C. No big deal - I ended up just crossing the last set of cables on a WS row. Live and learn.

Sweater is finished! Blocking now.

I knit the body in Size 40, but with so many other projects noting that the shoulders were a little big, I decided to take a chance and knit them in a Size 36 when I got to the front panels. I was a bit concerned I’d over-compensated, but it looks great! The shoulders fit just right and I have plenty of room across the bust area without over-stretching the yarn.
