Notes

I used the provisional cast on with scrap yarn. It worked fine but some stitches were facing the wrong way when it was time to work them. Had to remember to turn those.

Note to self: When working the German short rows, work the ‘double’ stitch and then work four more before turning again.

Followed length measurement instead of number of rows for back yoke due to not matching row gauge. Counted number of rows along armhole edge to place front yoke stripe and to determine length of front yoke.

Worked 19 rows of main colour between stripes. Used yarn over technique for Jogless stripes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWtBteWlHtM.

Great video for starting sleeves, including short rows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eAGek5Oxgk&t=161s

Picked up 92 stitches for sleeve instead of 96 due to having fewer rows in my yoke due to not matching row gauge. Followed instructions for small sleeve.

Used US2 needle for neck edge. Was able to only pick up 134 sts (small size instruction) instead of 136 for the medium size.
