Notes

Very comfy and soft sweater. Wollmeise DK is a good yarn for cables, also very light (compared to Wollmeise Molly) and almost too warm to wear during fall.

Started out a size 38, but ended up doing more increases at the raglan part. Also, picked up 6 st below the arms.

Did some very subtle waist shaping (just 2 decreases on each side, then 2 increases), added 2 more st in the front to accommodate my belly and 6 st in the back (2 at a time) to make room for my derriere.

I did a “half Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off” on the collar: Just did the extra yarn over before the purled stitches. Worked out nicely. Sleeves bound off normally.

Pleasant knit, easy cables, good pattern. If I were to knit it again I would do the v-neck differently (less steep but more increases in the front). If you do it as in the pattern, you will end up with a wavy v-neck like mine.
