This collar button band ends up wobbly when folded over. Would probably do 1x1 rib or a purl 2 on edge.

Super hot water wet block ! NO AGITATION! Just sitting in hot water to relax the fiber. Will spin when cold, then block.

Notes

Look ma, no cable needle!.
Am I really the first person to knit this pattern? Unbelievable!

This sweater with this yarn- CABLE CRACK! FYI, same cable pattern as Timberline.

So far no issues with pattern….
Started shoulder short rowing on row 33 -13,13,13,11. Bound off 44 stitches back neck (decreases number of stitches when adding back darts center of neck)

The sleeve decreases ? seem like a modified drop.(Decreasing every right side only:k2tog right,ssk left side. Keeps me from having to think….which I’m convinced is a superpower.)
Did back neck darts in the rib. starting about two inches from finishing neck bindoff per J. Floods mods to Ivon.
Rational as rib stretchy. Didn’t want there to be puckering or spread when doing collar.

WILL not. do side pockets.
Will not. do buttons at this point …just a super deep shawl collar and a super wide ribbed band.
Perfect sweater to go with worn flannel pajamas in front of a fire with a Spanish coffee.

6/20 fronts -directions for armhole shaping leave front armhole about two + inches shorter that back . I do like to make my armhole shaping in the front a “tad” shorter to bring the shoulder seam forward but 2-ish’’ leaves me (?)

Bound off 3x3 rib in pattern on US 6
