I picked this color as a cozy casual Christmas sweater. I love how it looks over a fun graphic tee.

Mods are as follows:
German Twisted Cast-On
Cast on 6 additional stitches to do an i-cord edge This gives a nice finished edge and helps your work stay flat so I highly recommend this detail.
I shortened the collar slightly as I didn’t want a high or fold over collar.
I added length to body—because it is top down I just kept trying it on until I found a length I liked. I love a slight crop but this pattern was a bit too much for me.
Bound off using the invisible sewn bind off for 1x1 rib for bottom hem and sleeves.
Modified the sleeves to a tapered wrist length sleeve instead of the balloon cropped sleeve written
I decreased 2 stitches after every 4 rounds until I reached 23 stitches cuffs were 6 rounds of ribbing
