Notes

Love. Ms. Scheuzger is a wondrously talented designer. It was such a pleasure to knit this pattern.

Only slight mod I made: I pondered sleeve length a long while because many knitters noted their sleeves ended up too long for them. Standard sleeve length is normally short on me, so I knitted the sleeves longer - 20 inches to accommodate my long monkey arms (they’re 21 inches long from the pits). I subtracted 1 inch to compensate for the saddle shoulder design… It worked!

and… I accidentally knit the left sleeve to the right side and vise versa…. Not a big deal. Only the really discerning eyes will notice - just means the cable on the arms turns the opposite way then the front cables, otherwise fit is the same. It’s more like me anyways to be pointing in different directions all at once.
