So simple to read and complete. I made it alittle longer on the end ribbing and slimed the arm cuffs then the pattern called for to fit my liking. I used a cotton and acrylic held together instead of the wool and puffy yarn. The numbers added to 5 and turned out very nice. I will make this sweater again using wool later, just was trying to use up yarn I had over flowing from already completed projects.
This would be a great first sweater for beginners

This is the first time I've made a top-down sweater pattern. It's not finished yet but so far so good and the pattern is very easy to follow and understand. I'm planning to reduce the sleeve a little and bring the bottom rib in a bit. Using only one yarn - a wool/acrylic mix which I had in my stash (same gauge though).

Nick-named “Bobbie” by my twin sister, since we started to talk (she couldn’t pronounce her “r’s” for Barbie”). This would definitely be the sweater I’d knit if I won this year”s Valentine’s giveaway. Looks cozy, soft … and fast to make!

Pattern is very well written and easy to understand. Definitely a great beginner project! I modified mine to fit a little tighter, smaller than the xs size. The yarn combination it recommends is amazing. The sweater is extremely warm and fuzzy.

Great basic sweater pattern! Easy to read and quick to work up with the worsted + lace yarn combo. Good for first time sweater knitters and a handy pattern to have because you can easily modify it as you increase your knitting skills!
