I’m using the right-twist technique in the pattern but if the yarn had been less fuzzy I would have used my ordinary cabling method.

TCKAL cast-on post: #831

Mods

  • CO and knit first 7 r with 4mm needle,
  • wanted more of a funnel neck and no rolled edge so after first set-up r knit 10 r rib pattern without increases,
  • using doublestitch instead of w&t for the shortrows,
  • since my row gauge is off I’m knitting three more rows in Section 2 and two in Section 4,
  • cast on 20 st for each underarm using a provisional CO,
  • no decreases on body, knit 38 cm, changed to 4mm needles and knit 10 r cable rib, bound off in pattern,
  • sleeves decreased every 7th r fourteen times, knit another 5 r decreasing 2 st on the last r, changed to 4mm needles and knit 6 r cable rib, bound off in pattern.
