Notes

Through the body now. I added four pairs of increases on the body at the sides. One just a couple of rounds after joining the body in the round and the other three evenly spaced through the cable sections.

Have done one sleeve and finished the turtleneck now. For the XL, I picked up four extra stitches for the neck. I also shortened the sleeves but only by three rounds from the pattern.

Finished!! Loved making this. Pattern was a breeze to follow and the knit is simple but not boring. And because I knit from a cone of yarn, very few ends to weave in!

Blocking will have to wait a few days until I’m back home. Will post modeled photos and add yardage whenever I finish all that.
