Cast on 120 stitches with provisional cast on to do a folded collar first.

I still haven’t decided if I’m making size 65” or 70”. I’d like an oversized fit, but 70” might be too oversized. I can knit up to round 48 of the yoke increases before I have to decide.

I seem to consistently be getting 6 sts/in like I did in my swatch, but I’m kind of surprised I’m getting that with size 6s when the pattern recommends 4s, so I’m wondering if the sweater will be on the large side due to the gauge.

I did some research on ravelry and people have been knitting this yarn combination on everything from 2s to 10s and getting all kinds of gauges, so I’m just going to trust my measurements. Since there may be some growth when I block it, I think I’ll make the 65” size.
