Notes

pattern calls for 8 inch positive ease, but I went with 4 since I’m making it with cotton and expect some stretching. So far it’s knitting up SO NICELY. Very easy pattern to follow, minimal difficulty for maximum texture and effect.

reached 12.5 inches in the 7th pattern repeat of the body past underarm, row 8. did the reduction and bind off but I didn’t like where it ended, so undid the bind off to add 20 additional rows of the body cuff portion, continuing the pattern until it reached the length I want.

Ending sleeve on 9th pattern repeat, row 8 (reduced starting row 5). BO using Lori’s twisted bind off

just editing this to remind myself that I had to try like several different stretchy bind offs and finally settled on the k2tog bind off method and that seemed to be the closest to what I was trying to achieve with the curl/stretchiness of the bind off
