Notes

knit fronts and back to pattern.
sleeves were more problematic. knitting 42inch size produced sleeve cuffs that were too wide, so i knit the next size down and started the increases at 5in instead of 7in so that i could increase to the number of stitches in the largest size at the top of the sleeve.
once everything was sewn together, sleeves were much longer than desired. cut about 3.5 inches off, picked back a few rows and then bound off. in total removed one full repeat of large cable pattern (about 4”) to make the sleeves more bracelet length.
ordered full 13 balls of the yarn, but didn’t even touch 2 of them, and had more than 1 left over in large scraps.
