Mods:

Cast on only 14 st at center front neck opening and increased to expected stitch count at the armhole sides on the front so the body would be correct.

Purl ridge every 5 rows of body.

Sleeves knit flat with zip up seam taken from Tsubaki by Hiroko Fukatsu. Decreases recalculated based on my wrist width and the length before ribbing. Longer cuff ribbing, no center rib panels.

Breast pocket made from 10x10 gauge swatch.

This sweater was worn for lounging around the house almost daily for a couple of months and now looks about twenty years old. The yarn pills like crazy. I’ve never seen a yarn this bad before.

It feels nice, but it looks like I picked it out of the trash. Granted that it’s only loungwear that gets worn so frequently, it’s still worse than any other sweater I’ve ever made.
