Notes

Proper FO photos coming soon!

This pattern has a few minor instructional/clarity errors:

The cast-on does not specify to join it in the round, but it should be joined in the round after casting on and before knitting the first round.

The round titled “divide body and sleeves” should read as follows: “Next rnd: k to m, remove m and place sleeve sts on waste yarn to next m, remove m, co (see first set of stitch counts in pattern for correct quantity to cast on) sts using backward loop, k to next m, remove m and place sleeve sts on waste yarn to next m, co (see second set of stitch counts in pattern for correct quantity to cast on), pm for BOR, co (see third set of stitch counts in pattern for correct quantity to cast on) sts more, rejoin in round.” Note that to protect the integrity of the pattern I did not include the stitch counts here. However, as far as I know the quantities in the pattern are correct and can be fit into the placeholders in the sentence above. That said, I only checked the quantity for the size I knit, which was correct. (Only the words and phrases of the sentence were wrong.)

My only modification was to knit my ribbing as p1, k1 (as opposed to k1, p1) so as to make the knits line up with the k2tog’s and the purls line up with the yo’s.

I used a tubular bind-off and used the 3.5mm needle for the setup rows of double knitting.

I knit this with addi Rocket2 needles - the 4.5mm needle for the body and the 3.75mm needle for the ribbed trim. I knit tighter than most and find that I need to go up 1-2 needle sizes compared to most knitters, plus addi recommends to go up a needle size if using a Rocket2 needle, so ymmv here using other types of needles anyway.
