Bound off with Jenny’s stretchy
Seems small (in between scarf and shawl), but looks like will grow with washing/blocking

I used a picot bindoff (cast on 2, bind off 8) instead of the crocheted edge, because I don’t know crochet and didn’t want to risk screwing it up.
Sleeves were knit to round 4 of repeat 14, they are also slightly larger around than the pattern (possibly my row gauge is larger?) – where pattern calls for picking up 25 st, I picked up 29. Tbh kind of like having a slightly bigger sleeve anyway.
Still need to weave in ends, wash/block, and sew on a button.
Did k1p1 instead of ktbl for ribbing
Switched from PSSO to ssk because it looked smoother
13 rounds after the thumb, not counting the join
Made with handspun that Emi gave Ryn: Two if by Hand Ring Nebula, 75% merino/25% nylon, 225yds/4oz
15 rows garter, 10 rows eyelet
The chart is confusing/inaccurate: every round with cabling should be followed by a round in the established pattern of knits and purls. (do not need extra rounds following rounds 1, 13, 14, 24, or 25)
Additionally, instead of moving the BoR marker, I added another marker between stitches 6 and 7 for the offset section, rounds 16-22)
(i did have to rip back and restart after the ribbing when I realized the cabling did not look like the photo, and that the note about “wrong side rows” was an instruction for “rounds following a cabled round”!)
Two extra rows before sleeve separation
Sleeve: pick up 7 underarm stitches, knit 7 pattern repeats plus 5 rounds counter should read 6/8
