Notes

11 panel raglan slightly modified cable pattern from Hitomi Shida’s Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible pattern 107. I added an extra purl stitch between the cables.

Using stitch counts from No frills raglan, but a larger gauge to hopefully give me 10” of positive ease if my math is correct.

Cast on with stitch counts from size 3. Finished short rows (knit flat) today and beginning in the round.

11-22-2023

Finished yoke increases today. A little worried about not having enough yarn left.

11-26-2023

196g + 100g left for body and sleeves.

12-04-2023

130 g left of the 196g ball (not including body ribbing yet)

12-15-2023

50g used for sleeve 1 (no ribbing yet)
84 sleeve rows

Definitely needed a few less stitches for the armholes. I also should have decreased more out in the first sleeve round and then decreased more slowly but I think it will block out okay and I don’t want to redo the sleeve when I want to finish this sweater in a week.

Decreased every other row for 18 rows and then every 4th to 38 rows

Added length to body and sleeves and am super happy with this sweater now.
