Notes

This is a well written pattern…no issues at all following the charts or written instructions. The final sweater is just what I was imagining. It’s a classic yet modern cabled sweater. The shaping makes it fit perfect.

I only went down one needle size for the ribbing in order to avoid the pucker I saw on other people’s projects in the center of the front. After blocking, no pucker at all. My front and back lay flat.

Used size 6 needles for ribbing.

Started back arm hole shaping at row 25 of main chart.
