MAKE SURE YOU MAKE THE MIDDLE PANEL WIDE ENOUGH!

I knitted on this non-stop for 3 vacation days so am loathe to frog this, as it is acceptable as knit, but I would make the middle panel wider if I were to reknit.

See my picture to see what I mean - after sewing up the two side chevrons far outproportion the middle one.

The good thing about the yarn I used is that it will stretch out to be more flattering than I think it looks on the hanger.

I’ll wear it a few times and if it doesn’t work, I will widen that back chevron about 1/3 way up the back. Should be easy enough to do. But bleh…. I hate finishing something and wondering if it is flattering - can never gauge that from the back anyway.
