Notes

I’m surprised this is a paid for pattern given all that is missing from it. There is no schematic, no further sizing information or bust size measurements. There is only one picture from the front. I’m not sure how this will fit and whether I need to go up or down a size to get the fit I want. I don’t know if I will need to make any adjustments for a proper fit, which is something I usually do need to do. With all the work that goes into making a garment, this information should be provided and is usually included in paid for patterns.

Since I’m using two colors, I wanted to alternate every two rows. In order to carry the yarn up the side, I trapped it first with the chain 1 and again with the yarn over for the first hdc. Then, coming back, just did the last pull through of the last hdc as a usual color change.

Used way more yardage than the pattern called for and I made the smallest size and did meet the gauge.

The arms are not big enough to wear anything substantial underneath, which is strange for an over garment and just another reason why this pattern is missing so much very necessary information. I won’t make this again and I can’t imagine I’d purchase another pattern, given how much info is missing or just incorrect.

I’m quite disappointed that I put so much work and yardage into a project that doesn’t fit the way it should, which was my fear after reading the pattern.
