Love this pattern so so much! It was a quick little knit and I am thrilled with the sweater.

knit the small to get 12” positive ease, and it grows, so I get 12-13 depending. I don’t think I would want it much bigger.

Definitely missed that the front cable pattern IS DIFFERENT FROM THE BACK. There are an extra two columns of eyelets that bookend the cable pattern on the front. Some people really noted a difference, I personally didn’t. I guess it changes the fit - there will be more of an upside down U shape in the bottom hem of the front if you add the eyelets.

I really hate knitting in double moss stitch, so there are a lot of spots where I messed up, and decided that only a knitter looking very closely would notice, from far away it all looks textured. I think the heathered effect of the yarn helps disguise this too. If you are a perfectionist I recommend tracking this closely.
I would advised casting off and seaming the shoulders, grafting live seed stitch is pretty much the worst.

This yarn is perfect, it shows the cables well, is really soft, and has a nice spring to it.
