Use US8 for the regular yarn parts of the sleeves.

To start I CO 33 sts to get 14.75” around the wrist.

Repeat:
Worked (with US15) 4 rows of Knit with fur yarn, then 10 rows in knit/purl with regular yarn.

Once got to final topmost part of sleeve, (with regular yarn) I did 8 rows in K/P, then as follows:

  1. BO 3 at beginning of row (29)
  2. BO 3 at beginning of row (26)
  3. decrease 1 stitch at beg, and one stitch at end (24)
  • do a few rows of fur in the decreasing section

12-20. as 11 (will end with 6 stitches. (hopefully 5 stitches?)
BO in pattern.

4/13 - have one front panel left, notes are in evernote. then have to assemble.

5/26 - finished R front panel. had to chart it out (CO36)
For Front - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O6CvnXjCFoVK4t1oZ...

Still need to block maybe and weave in ends/assemble.
