Swatch: roughly 18 sts per 10 cm on needle 5 mm. With a chest circumference of 110 cm, I’m confident making the XL which should make 114 cm.

Casting on 108 sts on needle 4mm for ribbing.

First time knitting a pocket!

Added 6 rows of 2x2 ribbing to armscye, on needles 4.5mm.

Finished, not perfect.
I do not like how this turned out. The wool is itchy, the colour is elephantine. The shape of the garment is just a tube with no waist shaping and only now do I realise I really need some waist shaping! The cable panel widening towards the hem also does not help matters as my hips are way wider than my bust.

I knit size XL which is slightly larger than my bust size, maybe if I knit a size smaller, it would have looked more flattering. But mostly these fitting issues appear because I have a terribly difficult figure (low bust, slim waist, big hips).
