Worked 3XL instructions with “I” hook, 5.5mm Finished size 2x/3x Would use J hook next time to get closer to gauge.

Work gauge with pattern, not 14dc swatch. In future, J Hook would most likely be closest to gauge as sweater fell between 2XL/3XL sizes with I hook for me.

Belt: Tss - add 11” to waist size, used double D rings for closure.

36” sweater length, 96 rows (48 pattern repeats, 2 dc cluster row, sc ch 1 row).

Back panel = 28”

Made ribbing 103 sts per first row of stitch pattern instead of increasing stitches, to make sweater lay flat with ribbing. Matched ribbing to first row on front panels as well.
