I decided to take a break from working on the body and get the sleeves done. Due to the fact that I had to extend the yoke 1.5 inches past what the pattern called for I was little bit concerned about yarn usage, so wanted to get the sleeves done so I would know how much I had left to finish the body. I did make a few modifications to the sleeve cuffs, mostly because I didn’t really read the instructions carefully. The pattern has you work the texture round, and then work 2 rounds before decreasing. I did the decrease right after the texture round, and I like the look so I left it when I discovered my change. I also worked 7 rounds of the ribbing instead of 6, as the pattern called for. The neck band has 7 rounds, so I thought I would just make all the ribbing 7 rounds.
Pattern: Adult Acorn Sweater by Kalley Reedy
Yarn: Sundara Yarn Extra Fine DK Silky Merino
Needle: US 6 (4.0 mm) & US 4 (3.5 mm, for the ribbing)
