December 6, 2019

I finally got around to doing my swatch today and it was pretty much right on with the 5.5 mm hook. I finished up the first 85 g skein and now my back panel is about 8” long.

I’ve been working on this off and on over the last month and a half. The back and front panels were straight-forward but the sleeve part of the pattern didn’t make any sense. Here’s what I’ve done for the XL size.

Sleeves:

  • 54 rows (MC)
  • 52 sts
  • Increasing after every 3rd row
  • Almost 18” from CC cuff
  • 17” at top of sleeve

I finished this today and it turned out too big for me. Fits my 6’ 3” husband great though! rolling_on_the_floor_laughing
