Free Cable Up Crochet Sweater Pattern

Brilliant pattern, poorly laid out

I downloaded this months ago, but I have just finished the jumper. I used Woolcraft Aran with 25% Wool 400g (UK) with a 5mm Clover soft touch hook. The pattern doesn't start until page six, the first pages are how to do the cables. The layout is poorly done, there really isn't much explanation on how to join everything together, the sleeves don't attach how you would think they would, so I would highly recommend laying everything out and use stitch markers to 'pin' it all together then sew together. Due to the Double Crochets there was a lot of holes after sewing so I had to add in some small patchwork to keep it looking it's best I am not a fan of crocheting any ribbing and then sewing on afterwards, so I made my own whilst attached for everything For the neck, because of the decrease to make th3 neck shape, I crochet short rows to give the neck some better shaping so it wouldn't be floppy and more fitted. The faux knit was brand new to me and is a beautiful effect and so simple and easy to achieve. The cables are extraordinarily easy as well! I had to look back each time on how to start, but afterwards it's a four row repeat all the way to the end which I loved so much! I highly suggest a minimum of at least four stitch markers to hold the parts you need to slip stitch into to create the cable. Overall, I did enjoy the pattern. I gave it a four star purely because of how it is all laid out within in, there should be more sense; because of this, I wouldn't recommend this so someone inexperienced with reading patterns because it just won't make sense. But the pattern itself, if presented properly and a bit more coherent, I probably could recommend this is a very adventurous beginner. If cables are something new, I would suggest a little sample square (doesn't have to be a gauge) but something to get adjusted to the technique, I'd say maybe 32 stitches across as you should because to get at least two cables within that maybe a third. I made the XL size and it's taken me about 4 weeks to complete this, but that is on and off, I would say I'm fairly advanced crocheter. Hopefully, if someone can improve the layout and presentation, maybe even add in a couple of extra photos to help an expiation or two, this would be a superior pattern, it is a great pattern, but those few bits do let it down

On page 6, when shaping the left armhole, it says to do 38+56 dc (for size M) which totals to 94 sts, although the pattern says it’s 96. Is that a mistake, and if so, should the total be 94 or 96 sts?

What does it mean when the pattern says “ then rep 20 rows of Cable Panel across all sts at once” does it mean to do another cable?

Are there errors for the right side of the back panel in the pattern? There are two extra rows of faux ribbing before decreasing for the armhole compared to the front panel, as well as an extra 2 rows of faux ribbing in the armhole itself there.

Is there a video for this pattern? It's a little hard to follow

When finished faux ribbing do you fasten off so you can turn work start the cable on the WS? As foundation row of cable is the dc from the ribbing if you dont fasten off you are starting on RS

It doesn't answer the question. Is this beginning at the neck, sleeve or bottom of the body? How many chain stitches do you begin with? Poorly written.

The instructions for the foundation row start with chain 3, ie. Row of 3 stitches but row 2 has 8 stitches leaving the rest unworked. How did they get from 3 to more than 8?
