Disaster Sweater
Nothing in this pattern went to plan. I didn’t correctly account for the weight and stiffness difference between the knit and crochet sections. I measured my gauge wrong. I ran out of my contrast color of yarn. But, I refused to frog it and start over so this is what I ended up with.

(Approx. 1000 yds/9oz of medium/size 4 worsted yarn)
.33 Skein of Butter Yellow Big Twist Shine Yarn

4mm crochet hook
