April Cardigan

Finished the increase finally and just separated sleeves and body.

Yesterday I noticed one of the increase line looks weird due to two missing increase sts and I have to unravel appx. 10 rows since it’s cannot be fixed by going down the ladder. After that I was more careful with the increase count, but still, I got 2 additional sts (42sts) for sleeves panel after sleeves inc part. This does not impact the total stitch count though for some odd reason and looks okay so I left as it is. In part 3 raglan increase I stopped when I got the correct total count, with 2 less sts in each front panel and 4 additional sts in each sleeve panel (41sts + 66sts + 89sts = 303). To make up for it, I CO 2 additional sts for each underarm and another bind-off st to avoid the underarm hole. This way I got the same body sts count as the pattern. 4 additional sts in the sleeves are okay as I prefer a more relaxed sleeve fit.

Errata: in the sleeve increase section, the description should be “work row 1 and row 2 each 16 times aka a total of 32 rows (16 rows for row 1 and 16 rows for row 2).
