Notes

This yarn is fine for scarves, and hats BUT NOT SWEATERS!!! Pills like crazy. The yarn is scrumptious to knit with, so it was hard to put down at times. Now that’s it’s finished when I wear it I feel frumpy and like I’m molting. It sheds, lints, pills and looks like I don’t care about what I’m wearing - VERY SAD!

I enjoyed making this sweater very much. The pattern was easy to follow and it fits very nicely.

Modification:
I made a single crochet edge starting at the right front, slip stitched along the neck (as a stay-stitching), then single crocheted again along the left front. This widened the button band just a bit, and I feel like it’s more stable.
