Notes

Cast On for size F … will switch between E and F as I go.
Will add an additional repeat of yoke rows 28 to 35.
Knitted a total of 26cm before starting the short rows and the separation of sleeves.
Using YO short rows: https://youtu.be/JSoldz90lIk
Picked up 20 underarm sts. per side, since I don’t like tight armholes.
Knitted 37cm before body edging. Knitted body edging a total of 3 times 3cm) before the last purl row and the BO.
Yarn usage for body: 370g Jeans Schatten, 64g Mohair
sleeves: 86sts. on 4mm circular needles until 66sts. after which I used 3.75mm DPNs. Knitted 12 rows before starting to decreasing 2 sts. every 6th rows until 60sts., after which every 5th rows until 48sts. Switched to 3.25mm needles for sleeve edging (same pattern as body, but 4 repeats).
32cm (down to 48sts.) from underarm to bottom before ribbing.
09.04.2023 - tightened the neckline. Knitted 2 rows, reducing 3 sts. each side, BO same like sleeves and bottom part.
