Notes

Oversize sweater with a modern and comfortable look. Beautiful texture, twisted stitches and color work makes the project entertaining and not at all boring. The lower back is shaped with the use of short rows technique.

Notes on the size: I am 1.58 and 58 kg and I followed the pattern to the letter with only 6 rows less for the ribbing. I feel that the sweater looks comfy but not overly huge on me. Lets see how the sweater will look like when the sleeves are also completed!

Finally completed! I am happy with the length (6 rows less for the ribbing) and the oversize fit is perfect for layering. I am considering a button for the neck to prevent sliding on my shoulders.
