Notes

Sizing in swatch: 20 sts = 8.5cm; 20 rows = 6.5cm

Casting on 210 sts to make 90 cm around - too big
Casting on 180 sts - looking better, don’t want a saggy pullover.

Worked 8 rows in garter stitch. Knitted 6 more rows and started waist decreases. Decreased a total of 20 sts.
Worked even stockinette until piece measured 29cm.

Worked 10 purl stitches for neckline (5 for each side).
Not doing any neckline decreases. I have big boobs, they will take care of neckline opening (ahah!)

Doing waistline increases every other knit row (RS) in a total of 20 stitches (1 increase row knitwise, 1 purl rows, 1 knit row, 1 purl row, another increase row knitwise in a total of 5 increase rows).

Worked 20 rows in total before starting sleeves rows (could have done a bit more). Slipped 5 stitches (instead of 3) to 4mm dpns. Cast on 75 stitches for each sleeves. Not doing it provisional, will grab the stitches with dpns when working down the sleeves.

Decrease until neckline has 87 stitches: 5 sts for neck opening border, 10-21-15-21-10-5

Making sleeves half length instead of short sleeves. Using 15 cm cubic dpns 4.0 mm.

Knitted 97 rows for sleeves + 10 rows in garter stitch
