Notes

Used the icord cast-on for 210 sts, joined in the round (hoping that my not removing of four selvedge stitches won’t come back to bite me in the ass; I’ve never done a flat-to-round conversion before.

Replacing the double decrease (sl1, k2tog, psso) with a centered double decrease (sl2tog, k1, p2sso), because I like how it looks.

Didn’t quite fit the last increase in on the sleeves before I hit 17”, so binding off 4st at the beginning of each row instead of 5.

43st each side of the neck and BO 5 instead of 7 because I didn’t get all the increases in for the bust. Guess this is gonna be a sweater to wear with the binder :P
