Notes

Had to go down a couple of needle sizes to get gauge.

MODS:

  • Cast on with Judy’s Magic Cast-on, and am using magic loop.
  • Twisting all knit sts in the chart (including the mini cable ones but excluding the bobble ones).
  • After Chart B, knit an extra 5 rows in pattern (k5, p20, k5, knit across back) to extend the section before ribbing, so the ribbing doesn’t poke out at the neck (as suggested by others)

If I were to make this again, I would skip the first 3 bobbles and the stem from the start of the first repeat of chart A…. it’s a bit weird having that first little bit of branch and bobbles on the left at the start (see second picture for explanation).
