Began sweater with US 6 needles

I was a few rows away from separating the body and sleeves when much to my horror I noticed the lack of increases on the front left. EEK! I began with dropping down to fix the issue. This didn’t work because increasing more than twice caused a density in the fabric that prevented more increases.

There was one more issue with this initial piece - my gauge. I had 6 stitches per inch instead of 5. It didn’t bother me and I had plans to make it work. Ripping out means I can increase needle size and make gauge.

Decreased the sleeve after the 10th row then decreased after the 11th row because I misread the pattern.
