Description
The Bear Lake Pullover was inspired by Scottish medieval armor. It’s a simple knit with sloping cables that mimic the sloping lines on breastplates. This handsome sweater takes care in the small details, from the rolled neckline to the increases on the arms mirroring the sloping cables on the torso.

This is a lovely pullover, but unfortunately the math on 2 out of 5 seizes is off, the largest size being way off. According to instructions with the given gauge it would be about 21.8” before the cables hit the sides, one size smaller this happens at 27”.
There is no erratum or correction to be found, and as far as I can see no way to ask the designer or publisher about this.
