Notes

Gauge:

  • 19 sts x 30 rows = 4” in moss stitch on size 5 needles
  • 21 sts x 28 rows = 4” in stockinette on size 4 needles (pockets)
  • 20 sts x 27 rnds = 4” in stockinette on size 5 needles (sleeves)

I worked the three needle bind off for the shoulders on the WS instead of the RS.

For the pocket lining I decreased to 33 sts instead of increasing to 43 sts and I knit 32 rows.

I picked up 60 sts for the sleeves instead of 66 sts since my gauge was larger than the pattern’s. I decreased every 7 rnds to 42 sts for the lower arm instead of 48 sts. I knit 68 rnds of stockinette before the rib. I increased to 44 sts on the first rnd of rib and knit 56 rnds of rib. I used Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy BO.
