German Twist cast on with US 3 (3.25 mm) Then change to 3.00 mm needles. Entire yoke in 3.00 mm.

((Frogged the yoke when used 3.25. ended up with a yoke at 43” circumference (not 41”). It’s the merino….merino says it all ))

Body: without shaping to 13’’ before 1x1 rib.
Preblocked- Itr, 3.25 mm,7 st,9.25 rows in 1’’
Sleeves :on US 3 DPNs,p/u 82. Work 17 rows straight
Start Decrease row 18
Magic formula
82-54= 28 st
Since dec 2 sts at a time 28/2=14
rows in 18” x9 rows/inch = 162 rows
162/14=11(+1)=12
14-8=6
So decrease every 11rows 2st 6x. (12 sts). (66rows)
12rows 2st 8x. (16 sts). (96 rows)
—————————-
28 sts. 162 rows
Did not switch skeins every couple of rows as the Knitting pundits advise……Frankly,I couldn’t be bothered (read as too lazy). Heuristic knitting at its finest
Avoiding holes when p/u
