I made the small and followed the pattern to the letter. LOVE the results. My trim color is a berry red, which I think really makes the black and white pop. I was worried that the sweater would be quite boxy due to the lack of ANY increases or decreases, but the silhouette is quite feminine and flattering!--particularly with the ballet neck. Looks great with skinny jeans :) I may make more in different colorblock combos.
