I love this sweater. It fits great and I’m actually excited for a really cold day so I can wear my new super warm Icelandic sweater.

The pattern was wonderful--it was well written and easy to follow. The sweater has some really nice shaping and I particularly liked the short rows to bring down the front of the neck.

I had to go down two needle sizes to achieve gauge but I was still a little off on the sweater. Next time I will do my gauge swatch in the round as suggested in this tutorial: http://ysolda.com/blog/2014/6/5/swift-swatching-in-the-round.

I also suggest this tutorial on how to do wrapless short rows: http://ysolda.com/blog/2014/1/23/technique-thursday-wrapl....

I am very happy with this sweater and I’m excited to try more patterns created by Ysolda Teague.
