Under Establish Armhole Steeks on page 3, the "Next Round" instructions have been corrected to read as follows: "Remove beginning-of-round (BOR) marker, knit 6 (7, 8, 9, 9) stitches, now slip the 6 (7, 8, 9, 9) stitches just worked onto waste yarn, knit 71 (79, 85, 93, 101) stitches across Front, [...]."

11 March 2014: Version 2.0

The pattern has been updated to reflect a striping sequence of 3 rows MC and 3 rows CC, rather than 2, as follows: Page 3, before Begin Striping Sequence: “Switch to Main Color (MC) and knit two rounds. Continue with MC for the following Increase Round:” Page 3, after Begin Striping Sequence: “Rounds 1 – 3: Knit all stitches with Contrast Color (CC). Rounds 4 – 6: Knit all stitches with Main Color (MC). Repeat the last six rounds, establishing striping sequence until work measures 14 (14, 14½, 15, 15)” from cast-on edge.”
