This gorgeous sweater was a test knit for Tanis Fiber Arts. I measure up as a 36 and chose to knit the size 37. I am really happy with the fit; there is just the right amount of positive ease; it isn’t too baggy. The sweater style works open or closed and the v-neck with a shawl collar is a style that works well for me.

I knit the pattern exactly as written. The stockinette seam helped to keep me on track for the length as my garter stitch is super tight before blocking.

The sweater knits up quite quickly and was a new (at least to me) set in shoulder construction. The shawl collar and short rows keep the knit interesting.

If I make this again I will increase the length of the body; a personal preference.

Got gauge with 4.5 mm.
