---Increases are a m1L. I’m wondering why they aren’t identified such. Author describes how to make the increase, but omits the bar btw the sts is picked up from the front.
I also wonder why the increases aren’t symmetric (m1R - m1L) each side of the yoke. Thought abt modifying, but didn’t.

Ok, so found out from someone else that there is an extra stitch to accommodate the lace yo. I would suggest that be added to the pattern (maybe a translation error?) Beginning on body section but adding a few rows of sts.

Grrr - On the sleeves. They aren’t long like the cream color sweater, but are 3/4 length (like in the yellow version of the cardi). Ordered another skein of yarn…
note to self: for next sleeve, add in 2 rows before starting on pattern
