I’m totally in love with the fabric this yarn combo is creating.

Doing a yarn over on the wrong side for the raglan increases. Less distortion of the stitches.

I knit the whole sleeve and tried it on. It was tight. I ripped back to reknit. Knowing how many extra rows I needed after the decreases are done is a help, so not entirely a wasted effort. I’m putting those extras at the top of the arm. Fingers crossed!

Update: it fits! I’m so glad I redid it. It’s still a slim fit. Now I can see how the original was way too tight. I didn’t have it fully on. It looks like I’ll need another inch before starting the ribbing.
