Notes

Pre-blocking gauge ~ 20sts/4”; post =17.5sts and 31 rows. Swatch weight 9g for 5x8” swatch; ~32m

Plan to use size 2 numbers of Clocada except fewer sts in the front and no textured panel.

Raglan increases made every other row at first (rows 1-14). 14 sts CO over front to f=56, s=26, b=60
Then raglan increases made once every fourth row (r15 to 54). Rows 55 to 73; stitches added only to sleeve side of raglans.
Short rows were placed on rows 23, 38, 51, 65.

I picked up the neckline and worked k1p1 ribbing for 20 rows and then fold over and bind to inside.

Nupps were worked every 12th row to sleeve separation (~80 rows).

Body worked for approximately 80 more rows.
Short rows placed from centre back to round hem: 18; 14; 12; 12; 12.
Work 16 rows k1p1 ribbing.

How I worked nupps: between the stitch to be worked, place yarn on LN as though to m1L, k the same stitch tbl, front, tbl, front, tbl (5 increased); sl 2 sts back to LN and pass 2nd st over 1st, sl1, pass L st over R; on LN pass R over L, sl R st over L. On the next row, when nupp is second to be worked, slip first st kwise, sl back, then k2tog tbl.s

Initial Ideas
Something with twisted stitches? Gansey-like?
Textured sweater 18: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sweater-no-18
Bobble-like: Nupps swatch attempt: between two stitches, place yarn on needle as though to M1L; k1tbl, k1, k1tbl, k1, k1tbl; slip 2 sts back to LN and pass 2nd st over rightmost stitch, slip 1 st, pass second st over first st on RN over 1st st, pass 2nd st over 1st on LN, move this st back to RN and pass 2nd st over 1st; continue knitting. Next row, on WS, when the nupp is the 2nd st on the LN, p2tog tbl or on RS, k2tog tbl with next stitch.
These nupps come forward in the fabric instead of showing only on the back.
