I am using one 40” circular needle and Magic Loop to knit the sleeves. So much easier than two circular needles, which is what the pattern calls for but I love Magic Loop anyway.

Only decreased sleeves to 30 stitches instead of 26. Also did not knit sleeves as long as pattern called for before switching to the CC. I thought it would be cuter to have more of the CC. Knit 12 rows in pink CC before binding off.

Sleeves are done in stockinette and bound off without any ribbing, so the cuffs roll which I think is cute

Designer forgot to tell you to seam shoulders before knitting the sleeves.

Pattern calls for Aran weight and I think that is appropriate - worsted wouldn’t be quite heavy enough. This Cascade 220 Superwash Aran is great - it’s thick and plump and I think will make a great sweater.
