Really loving knitting this up, I’m almost up to the armholes just by knitting in the car as we took our grandchildren out and about last week…I am so eager to get onto the tangled yoke bit!

Felted tweed is a wonderful yarn to work with

Finished the body up to the armholes

I am knitting the bands on as I go, using the clever technique learned in my two Same Same cardigans :D

Cast on the sleeves, 10 sts less than the pattern instructions

Used this calculator to work out the new increases on the sleeves

Wish me luck!

I worked the yoke half an inch less before doing the short row shaping, I then decreased a few less stitches by working K1 K2tog K2 K2tog instead of what is written in the pattern, before working the neckband. This has caused the neck to be less high than in the pattern, I really don’t like my necks too high

Really love how this has turned out

Can’t find buttons to match though :(
