General
Discovered an error in the pattern: row 59 is missing. Have commented on the pattern page.
Would very much have prefered if this pattern had been charted.
New to me technique for making nice-looking intarsia diagonals using increases and decreases.
A 15 Amber, B 8 Fuschia, C 7 Scarlet
Used 4mm needles for all broken rib.
Using sloped bindoff for neck shaping.

- 7 rows broken rib with smaller needles instead of garter
- mirrored the intarsia on the front,
- on back knitted 20 r more after r 126 before starting shoulder and neck shaping & ditto on the front (after r 118),
- used German shortrows (double stitch) with 3-needle bindoff for shoulder shaping,
- picked up fewer st for neckband, knit 5 r broken rib,
- using sock yarn for the side seams,
- sleeve picked up 2 st for every 3rd r = 64 st total, knitted 12 r, decreased every 9th r 11 times, knit 3 more r, changed to smaller needle and knit 6 r broken rib.
