Saddle Shoulder Sweater Question

I’m making my first saddle shouldered sweater (Now or Never from the Yarn Girls Guide to Knits for All Seasons). The pattern as written has the front measuring 1 1/4" shorter than the back (to the cast off edge at the shoulders). Is this typical of this shoulder style or is it likely to be an error in the pattern?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You get around the boards…!

Yes, the pattern is fine. That’s how saddle shoulders should be.
