I made changes as usual. I don’t remember whether I ever followed a pattern completely.

I used yarn from my stash and so I had to recalculate all stitches and rows after swatching.
But I also made changes in design. Fields worked in short-rows helped me to use up some cotton leftovers in different colours. Oddly enough I didn’t find any green cotton in all my stash so I took thread from a long ago cross-stitch project for the green spaces.

It was an easy-going project and I will surely make a jacket of my own. For I’m a woman of ample dimensions I will change the top-down start so that the shoulder section will fit more precise.
This is often a critical point in top-down raglans: the shoulder line does not fit people with strong shoulders or arms.

Else is modelled by a dress form with a medium to large size. You’ll receive a better impression by the pictures with the jacket on the hanger.
