We opted to make size 2 (44” bust) of this pullover rather than size 3 (48” bust) which would offer the 10” of positive ease recommended by the pattern. However because of this (or perhaps regardless?) we found the sleeves on this sweater VERY tight. Be sure to have a peek at the finished schematic of the sweater and consider knitting the sleeves from a different size if you would like more ease there. We have written up an addendum to help with that, and it is free with the purchase of the yarn from us.

Otherwise this pattern is a dream. Nice and lightweight, which is perfect for our Victoria climate most of the year. And the tweed shows so beautifully in the reversed stockinette.
