Notes

Added 4 rows of short rows to the collar for shaping. Did not hold mohair together for collar so wouldn’t be right against the neck. Picked up more stitches (62) for sleeves because that’s what made sense for my gauge, then adjusted decreases accordingly. Only 1 inch of ribbing at end of sleeves.

Pattern doesn’t hold your hand, but easy enough if you’ve made other sweaters—I wouldn’t recommend it as a first sweater.
