Notes

4.0mm for main needle, 3.75mm for ribbing.
pattern calls for 4.5sts but I get 5sts p/inch so size 2 should only be about 6” positive ease with DK.
KAL with artfulee & ndaigle35

5 sts / “ = 40” so about 6”+ ease

sleeves snug before blocking

Used a bigger needle for the neck, stretchy bindoff and the shoulder seams. The shoulder is now more relaxed and down the side of my shoulders.

Next one for a looser fit: Go up one more size if same gauge of 5sts /inch instead of 4.5sts (or go down needle size)
