    About

    I am 5'4, 125 lbs, 36B chest. Made size 36. Steam blocked the pieces as I knitted them. After the pieces were sewn, I thought it would fit more like it did on the model if it were 1" wider and 2" longer. So I wet blocked the finished sweater to 21" wide and 24" from hem to shoulder, armhole depth of 7", armpit to hem of 17". Fits much better in my opinion so I would recommend either knitting a slightly larger size or blocking it to a larger size than specified.

    I followed the directions as written except I knitted the collar band (reverse stockinette) in the round because I didn't want to sew up the edge on 3 rows. In the round is much neater.

    Pretty fast knit due to the large needle size. I did seam with the yarn held double as well. Seaming was pretty easy. Mattress stitch.

    Haze is pretty easy to knit with even with the yarn held double. I used Lykke wood needles.

    I had a wee bit of yarn left so I made a matching removable cowl. I used a size 7 & 13 needle, 7x24
