Neckline and Armhole Increases
For the increases, I had to work a variety of M1R, M1L, M1Rp, M1Lp to maintain the cable pattern.

Sleeves

  • I reached the stitch count listed in the pattern for my size - I picked up every stitch along the CO edge and then every 2 out of 3 the rest of the way around.
  • a minor mod: instead of starting the sleeve round with a cable, I k2, p2 before starting my first cable. This allowed the cable pattern to continue seamlessly from the body, to the underarm and down the sleeve.
  • Worked the cable repeats 4 times exactly before starting the decreases for the cuff.
  • Used 3.25 mm needles for the cuffs.

Neckline
Picked up every stitch along the cast on edge and every 3 out of 4 the rest of the way around. I did this because the back section of the neckline was getting a bit bunched up and puckered if I did ever 3 out of 4.
