Notes

My second Cocktail
First one is here

As the sleeves of my first Cocktail were, I felt, a bit bigger for me,
I started with 76 stitches--2 stitches fewer than size S, which I had chosen for sleeves (for the first one), while choosing size XS for the body--,
and then decreased to 50 stitches--5 stitches fewer than the first one.
I made 6 more decreases every 12 rounds after the last decrease in the pattern instruction.

But, the finished sleeves turned out to be a bit too tight under the armpit…(~_~;), although fitting nicely around the forearm and wrist.
So, if I ever knit this sweater again, I think I should start with 78 stitches (size S), then decreased to 50 stitches (6 more decreases every 12 rounds and one more decrease before ribbing).

P.S.
Today, I wore the sweater all day.
It was tight under the armpit, but not so tight as to make me feel uncomfortable.
I think it’s good enough as it is.
