and another thing…

I completely forgot to mention the first problem I had with the Moss Stitch Jacket sleeve. Riddle me this, if you knit the pattern as per the instructions and you get gauge then your sleeve will be 1.5cm longer at the end of the increases than the pattern claims the final length should be. Basic math people.

If 34 rows = 10 cm.
Then 49 rows to complete wrist band and the increases = 14.4cms

You simply cannot then knit until the total length from cast on is 13cm. My sleeve is a smidge over 14.5cm (you need to knit an extra row before casting off).

I am so glad to here this - I have had this problem with a few patterns were the measurements are out and my gauge has been spot on!
