I didn’t want mine quite as full so I did a couple less of the increases in the front. If I remember right, I did 4 instead of 6. I also made mine longer.

If I were to make this again, I wouldn’t use the linen yarn. The short rows are less forgiving with this type of yarn and a think I bit thicker wool would look much better.

This has become my favorite sweater. I wear it all the time and it seems to go with everything. I love that it works well over so many thints - from tanks to shirts. It also turns out that I love the linen yarn. The short rows no longer bother me, I just love the drape and feel if this linen. This particular brand of linen is so soft and its held up well to washing.
