Really happy with how this turned out! Wearing it constantly since I finished.
My first folded collar and I love how it looks. Mods were to knit the sleeves a little longer and pick up more stitches for the collar (decreased down to suggested stitch count on next row). It’s probably a little too long AND I stopped the body ribbing too soon so maybe next season I will do some surgery and fix that.

Casting on with 8s
01-02-2023
Back panel was measuring 24” with the 8s (blocked). Cast on with 7’s to compare. My very oversized black colorwork yoke sweater from old navy is 22” wide, so 24” might have been too oversized (15” positive ease)

Unblocked on 7s was only measuring 20”. Blocking to see if I can get 2 more inches. Not sure what I’ll do if not. Go up a size maybe.

One full skein made 9” of cable pattern

Finished the back panel.
Knit 137 rows of the cable pattern before starting the decreases.
It took about 2.5 weeks but it felt like it flew by! Very enjoyable pattern so far.
