NOTES

I modified the fair isle pattern from the St. Remy sweater pattern, but after multiple attempts at getting the shoulders correct, I decided to give the Strange Brew pattern.

FINAL THOUGHTS

  • Modifications:

    • Bottom-up sweater / XS size

    • I did match the pattern gauge (26 sts. / 32 rnds): my gauge was 28 sts. / 33 rnds.

  • Make Again?

    • This is the best fitting sweater make for me so far. The color, ease, and overall fit are flattering.

    • Despite being a budget wool, I did not over heat when wearing the sweater.

    • I will use this yarn and pattern again.
