This was my first wearable project and I loved it! This knit up so quickly and was really enjoyable. The pattern was pretty easy to read for a beginner knitter, though I did catch a few errors (such as saying decrease when it should be increase).

I’m 5’5”, 170 lbs, with a bust measurement of 45”. I knit a size 3.

I am very happy with the overall fit and followed the pattern almost exactly throughout. I knew that if I followed the pattern on the sleeves they would drop below my fingertips, which annoys me, so I shortened them by a few rows.

Of course, I finished this just in time for warm weather to roll in, but I’m looking forward to pulling it out this fall!

Techniques I learned: German Short Rows, picking up and knitting stitches, working in the round, knitting together a double knit trim.
