my Gauge on 3.25mm needles
23 stitches and 34 rows = 10 cm in Stockinette Stitch.
Cast on with 3.25mm needles, repeated ribbing rows 7times more.
Kept knitting with 3.25mm needles up to row 16. Switched to 3.5mm needles on row 17. Will see how it works.
Knitted additional 3x yoke chart rows 47 and 48.
Since my yarn is speckled, I decided to knit the body of my sweater in plain stockinette.
Sleeve separation after 25cm from fromt neck.
I have 392sts. on my needle.
58sts. half back, 80 sleeve sts. on hold, cast on 5sts., placed BOR marker, cast on another 5sts., knitted 116sts. for the front - repeated sleeve sts., 10 underarm sts. and half back.
Placed marker for left side, instead of BOR marker.
Result: 116sts. + 10 underarm = 126 sts. each for front and back. 80sts. per sleeve + underarm sts.
After 34cm from underarm I reduced 2sts. per side (124sts. per side = 248sts.) before starting 5cm of 2/2 ribbing with 3mm needles
Sleeves: picked up additional 2x6 underarm sts, reduced to 88sts. in the first row. Reduced another 2sts. on the second row. After that reducing 2sts. every 4th row until 76sts. before 3cm ribbing with 3mm needles
