I think it came out OK in the
end but... there was a reason they warned me against this pattern at the knitting store. I was looking at the pattern, liking the finished model, but being told the pattern was really badly written. Meanwhile, another lady was eyeballing it, clearly wanting it too - there was only one copy. So despite warnings, I had no other choice than quickly snatching it in front of her!I have to say the pattern is quite confusing, and has a pattern chart where I had to decide what must have been the intention. I have no problem reinventing a fully functional pattern as I go, but in this case there was no choice, so I would not recommend this to anyone who really needs a pattern to follow.
The nice part about the design is the way the sleeves are made. The entire sweater is knitted in one piece, starting at the back. The sleeves are added by casting on additional stitches. I finished them by three-needle bind off, so there is no bulk under the arms. The only finishing is the sleeve and side seams, the designer gets points for that!
