This was the first sweater that I made, so I had a lot of iterations along the way. I started following the pattern, but realized that if I wanted it to be fitted to my body, I would have to make slight alterations here and there.

I added rows in St st to the yoke right before the decrease. I felt that this gave me a little more room in the armpits. I also modified the sleeves to 3/4 length.
