I followed the pattern with no changes except for length, added an extra inch in length.

Knit the 46.5, actually blocked to about 48 inches but that works for me.
Pickup for collar was 116 sts, followed the instructions for the size 50.
Pickup for sleeves was 72 sts and I followed the sleeve instructions for size 39.

I always seem to have a few more stitches for the collar/neckline and a few less stitches for the sleeve pickup but it always seems to work out.

Partial swatch, got gauge when finished, 7US needle. Working on bottom ribbing now.

Moving along, just finished the 4th repeat of the cable rounds for the body, 8” in length, need 12” before separating for front and back.

Decided to add an inch in length so knit to 13” before splitting front and back. Working up front now.

Shoulders are seamed, getting ready to start the collar.

Almost finished with 1st sleeve, 2 inches to go.

7-18-24--Almost finished! If this plague-like crud would just leave my body!!! I’m 3 inches from the end of the 2nd sleeve, then blocking and some decent pictures!

Photos right now are unblocked, will be blocking today.
