Notes

It fits!! I am so relieved. While I was knitting this jacket I crossed my fingers, as I was afraid that it would turn out too small this time.

I couldn’t be happier with the result.

For all those knitters who follow the charts only (as I did) without reading the written instructions: Note that (in my opinion) there are a few minor mistakes:

Chart A:
Row 4 should read “P2, k9, P2…”

Chart B:
Row 34 should read “P9,k11….”

Chart C:
Row 4 should read “P2, k9, P2…”

The pattern is well written, but I had some trouble with the right and the left front; when I began with the raglan and the V-neck shaping at some point the number of stitches I had on the needles was different from the number mentioned in the pattern, therefore I had to make some adjustments a I went.
