Women’s M for stitch count, men’s S for length.

Did the sleeves first. CO 44 with 1x1 cable cast on, sz 4 needles. 10 rounds of ribbing inc on 10th round. 31 rounds after increases for 19.5”.

For body, same CO (176, 5 steek sts halfway) with sz 7 needles, changed to sz 4 for ribbing. Moved BOR to left side after chart. Purling the middle steek stitch.

PU 123 for button band

Forgot to add that I was lazy about the steek reinforcement because I am a dangerous badass. Who is also lazy. Intended to crochet reinforce but making the center stitch a purl kinda ruined that idea. Lesson learnt. So just did a backstitch with some fingering weight wool and called it a day. Everything else is sticky sticky wool too and seems to be holding.

I think I screwed up again by picking up my button band in the first stitch of the steek panel instead of the actual body of the sweater so there is an odd little line but I can live with that.
