Notes

Easy to understand and follow, would be an excellent pattern for someone making a garment for the first time. This pattern is also easy to to modify and customize so you can get the perfect fit for the person you’re making it for. Another great pattern by Jennifer.

Project notes as I go:

-Used the yarn recommended by designer.

-Made size S with modifications so it fits my husband perfectly.

-Made the waistband a slightly different size than what the pattern is written for. Made it 34 inches around.

-Added length to the torso (body of sweater). Measures 17 1/2 inches.

-Worked the front and back panels as size M for the extra 2 rows of length necessary to fit properly.

-Worked sleeves as size S and 22 inches long, to round 82.

-This didn’t use 8 whole skeins, even with all of my modifications.
