Notes

Provisional cast on 106sts for medium as I want to do a funnel (or turtle? Heuristic knitting at its finest).
Knit two rows stockinette,then started yoke . (yoke depth 7.5”)
The yoke was so much fun.
Decided on:
3/4 sleeves: length 15”.
Faced sleeves in stockinette using CC ,US3.

Body:13” in length from UA. 22.5” from back neck. Short rowed back in final row.
Hem faced in stockinette, CC. US 3.

P/u 106 st at neck:US4. Decided on a corrugated rib which really draws in the neck. Knit first row to avoid purl bump in CC.
Used Norwegian purl for subsequent purl rows

Neck band faced in CC, US3, 2x2 rib to prevent outward curl of the corrugated rib.
Fits nice.
