Italian cast-on for hem and sleeves.
After finishing the first sleeve, realized they were going to be way too narrow for how I prefer to wear a sweater, so I adjusted the sleeve pattern after ribbing to:

Every 6th round, SM, K1, M1L, knit to M, M1R (6 times, until 48 sts on the needle). Continue in the round until 14” length from cuff edge; BO 10 sts, knit to 10 sts before marker, BO 10.

This knit up quicker than I expected. Used cloudborn yarn I had planned for another project held together with tosh merino light from a frogged project. The result is a ln airy, soft and fluid fabric that’s pretty easy to wear. The neck opening could have been looser but I managed to squeeze my head through.

I will say that I don’t love how much the body tapers, so if I make this again, I will make adjustments to minimize that.
