Chestnut Sweater & Top

I really like the pattern but I had to make a ton of modifications – this pattern is drafted to have a looser, more relaxed look, but I do like my armscye seams to fit at my shoulders. If you’re trying to get your sweater to fit somewhat like mine, I think I lengthened the body maybe by 5cm, and I might have shortened the sleeves as well, but most modifications were made at the shoulders, I raised the back shoulder by 1,5 cm and changed the slope, and the front by 2,5cm and also reduced the width of the shoulder on both pieces by 3cm. The pattern includes 3 opening options, all closed by a bow or a bit of ribbon, I chose version A, and you could also make a sweater with waistband and cuffs, or a simple top with hems. The fabric I chose is a fleece backed fine sweater knit, but I can’t really remember the composition, probably it’s just poly. For the bow I made it out of some navy chiffon remnants I had about, but it did come out a bit heavy to tie in a bow. https://umacrafterportuguesacomcerteza.wordpress.com/2018/02/09/camisola-chestnut-chestnut-sweater/
