Modifications to pattern: Instead of making 3 front panels and 1 back panel, I just made 2 back panels and I did it in the round instead of in 2 pieces. I also picked up stitches around the neck and arm holes to make for a more finished look and so the straps were a bit thicker. Otherwise, I followed the stitch count in the pattern and decrease instructions (which are not very detailed so if you want a pattern with row by row instructions, skip this one)

The linen is a bit heavy but it softened after wet blocking & because of the weight, it hangs nicely & no undershirt required.
