k, p, cables, m1R, m1L, seaming, following multiple directions at once: shape armhole while shaping neck...

Needles: US 7/ 4.5mm or size to obtain gauge in SS, in straight and 32”/ 80cm circular or longer for working body back and forth in rows.

Gauge: 19 sts and 26 rows = 4”/ 10cm in Stockinette stitch.

Note: Garter stitch sections will have a slightly looser stitch gauge, creating a subtle A-line shape, and a tighter row gauge, which may cause the sweater to curve slightly upward in the back while working. This can be blocked out in finishing.
