What a nice cardi! :)

I knitted the body in one piece to the underarms. Then I joined the sleeves to the body and did raglan decreases.

Casted off ten stitches under the middle of each sleeve and in the sides of the body. Made four rounds even before I started to increase eight stitches ever other round.

Did not bind off the remaining stitches in the neck or the on the top of the sleeves. I joined them to the reimaining 18 sidestitches on each side as I knitted the neck with ssk and p2tg. Seamed the neck stitches together with kitchener stitch.

This yarn has a boring colour, it’s like a grey november day. Hope it will look better knitted up with cables.

As many others have mentioned: remember to hold the cables in back on round 13.

Starting with the sleeves. Had to frog the first attempt since it was to narrow. Next sleeve: increased every eight round until I had 50 stiches.

24.11.11: Both sleeves finished a couple of days ago. I think the body has to wait until I have finished Irish coffee.
