Using US 3, 32” cord. Should’ve used 40”.
Switched to US 2, 40” cord for the twisted ribbing on the bottom of the sweater. Used 16” US 1 and 3 for the sleeves.

Concerned that I didn’t do the larger armpit of 56 stitches like I did for the last sweater. The 52 stitches is a bit snug. Hope the yarn stretches in blocking to accommodate my fat armpits.

Went longer, on the sleeve, approx. 15.5” before the 1” ribbed cuff from bottom of armpit this time. Kept US 3 for ribbing on sleeves for 6 rows, then switched to US 1” for 3 rows and the bind-off in pattern.

And didn’t do the short rows--just finished off the bottom with ribbing.

Blocked: shoulder 16”, armpit to cuff 18”, armpit to armpit 15”, sleeve 24.5”, neck to bottom 23.5”

I needn’t have worried about the armpits in the sleeve being too tight. The yarn loosened up just enough. Very good drape. Excellent pattern and yarn combo.
