It is a nice and simple pattern which results in a very modern sweater (in 2015). I changed some little details:

As my row counting was different, I made the decrease for the front hem in every 4th row. The neckline also was changed: I wanted the front deeper and made the decreases and increases visible and added a standing collar - a little nod to the sixties and my vintage obsession over the last years.

Another little change is the ribbing: instead of 2/2 I knit a 1/1 with twisted stitches to make the jumper look a little bit less rustic.

I would say this could be a great beginners project for a fashionista :-D Which I am not.
