Notes

THIS PATTERN IS NOT SIZE INCLUSIVE.

Even though it says the body circumference will be a measurement I like, the arm holes are INSANELY small, and the yoke is incredibly short. I ended up having my sleeves be about 30stitches more than the pattern calls for and over 20 rounds deeper. Insane construction here, it’s almost like they didn’t even test the larger sizes.

Did 5 extra rounds (10rows) of sleeve increases before doing the raglan increases, I want a much larger sleeve.

I casted on 15 stitches for the underarms, instead of the 10 the pattern says

25-12-2024

I ended up going up a size in the raglan increases so doing 21 repeats instead of 19 and then did like 10 more rounds of increases only on the sleeves to make the sleeves longer and the yoke deeper

Picked up one sleeve as a break from the body ribbing. I picked up the a total of 24 stitches under the arm and started casting off the extra 8 immediately

Casted off the body today because I realised I cant knit that much ribbing with suri, it’s far too “sticky” and was killing my hands.
