Thanks Kathyruth. In my quest for info on this infamous sweater I forgot to say that I love yours and purple is my favorite color!!

hey

Um, my intent was to get less poofy poofs, but I ended up with no poofs!!! I like them anyway though All I did to modify was (I think?) leave off the last set of increases in the sleeves... Like, I did the 1 set of increases... then I did the next set, and then after those, I didn't do any more increases on the sleeves...
 I think. It's been a while...

Mine is about 3/4 done, knit in Lion Brand Cotton Ease in pistachio I can't wait until this damn thing is done.

Kathyruth and lara did you make a lot of modifications to de-puff the sleeves?

If you want to de-puffify the sleeves, don't do the extra increases.  Row 15 and 17? I can't remember.. just do the normal raglan increases instead - increasing one stitch before and after each marker.

all of these are really cute. i'm making one fro a personal swap w/ someone here on craftster!

[mayerlove]

ok sorry if anyone allready asked this. row 15. i understand how to do the increases evenly, but do i do the normal raglan increases also? like k to the first marker, inc 1, slip marker, inc 1, then inc the five evenly, inc 1 slip marker, inc 1

jm2luver21: indeed - you increase extra stitches in the sleeve sections IN ADDITION to the normal raglan shaping.

thanks so much for the quick reply!

OK....in the pattern it says to do the decreases by picking up stitches from the previous row...I took that to mean m1....um yeah by doing two in a row (inc, marker, inc) I have holes! is it supposed to be that way? maybe I should just switch to bar increases...sigh... help!

I did: m1, k1, slip marker, k1, m1 continue knitting. that way you don't end up with holes.

good luck,
