Trying this with Jackson even though it is tagged as a DK because a) I have knit it at the gauge the pattern called for and liked the fabric and b) it has a lot of body & springiness.

If I was starting this again, I might use provisional cast on for the shoulders.

I might be wrong, but I started with the Left Back (not right) with right side facing, cast on 28 stitches, then knit the Right Back.

Revised: took that out, started joining row with WS of Right Back, cast on 28 stitches, then WS of Left Back. Couldn’t figure out a way for RS Row 1 to have the C2B and C2F any other way (i.e., the start of the honeycomb sections).

Knitting the honeycomb section without a cable needle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJk1qhODLzI and using a 6” dpn for the 12 stitch cables.

My first increase row occurred on row 2 (plain row) of the second trip up the body chart (for the back--the front doesn’t have as many rows).

My stockinette gauge is correct, but honeycomb is denser, possibly because the left twist is being knit through the back loops. On the plus side, it has really great depth.

Knit the chart upside down for a number of rows--dropped back 8 to correct it.

Cable on row 65 of main chart is reversed. I initially knit it as printed, concluded it was wrong on row 69, dropped back (again) and fixed.

Knitting to total body length of 22”

Finished body. A little nervous about sizing, but think it is going to be okay.
