The lace pattern was easy. It was rewarding to see it develop, and it made the sweater interesting to complete.

For the sleeves, I didn’t increase as much as the pattern suggested in the shoulder section. When it came to decreasing the sleeves, I didn’t decrease until after the elbow.

I started the lace pattern on the back higher up than the pattern suggested. This way, the sweater wouldn’t be too long. Even as is, it is roughly 20” from armpit to hem.
