Did 8 rows of ribbing at collar, cuffs, and hem instead of 16. I like the slightly boat neck look it produced.

Knit body to about 14.5” before starting ribbing (so I ended with a completed repeat of the leaf lace pattern). Just started the first few yards of a sixth ball to finish ribbing on hem.

Only found one knot in 8 balls of yarn.

Did a total of 6 sleeve decreases, starting at 3” (oops) every 2” / 11th row. Continued sleeves for about 19 rows past last decrease; ended in the last row of a pattern repeat before doing 8 rows of ribbing.

I will probably knit another one of these without sleeves in a cotton blend at some point. Wish I could wear it now! I love this sweater so much… alas not a great summer sweater.

Next time I will space out the hip increases a bit more.
