Notes

Had to rip out and cast on again after knitting the size 2 to just after the split for the sleeves. I was getting gauge but it was just too narrow and too short.

Modifications:

  • I did not cut the MC throughout, instead carrying it up behind the working colour.
  • I changed the decreases on the arms. First MC stripe after the split for the sleeves I did not do any decreases. Then followed the decreases for the remaining stripes.
  • Also for the arms, after the last CC section I did not go directly into the twisted rib cuff, instead did 9 rounds of the MC, decreasing as per the stripe section on rows 2 and 7 before doing K3, K2tog on the 9th round. Then did only 5 rounds of twisted rib before binding off. This made the top of the sleeve wider and the overall length of the sleeve longer.
  • I added a crochet chain edge to the front panels, this helped to hide the ends and gave a bit more stability.
