Anyone who knows me well is looking for the modification notes, so here they are:

I added some increases to the fronts, every four rows until I reached the final stitch count for the next size up at the point where you split for sleeves and body. I’m really happy I did. I like the extra coverage at the front to hide a multitude of sins.

I didn’t do any increases in the body itself, I did change to larger needles after chart two. Otherwise I pretty much followed the pattern except for the raglans, I don’t like kfb increases for the odd bump you get, so I did m1r and m1l instead.

Love it. The yarn is nice to knit with for an acrylic, it took just under four balls of yarn which made it super affordable and if Mum pinches it, it won’t shrink in her ‘boil everything’ washes.
