My go-to sweater pattern

A quick and satisfying sew and super comfy to wear! This would be a great knit/jersey pattern for a beginner.

Jarrah has a dropped shoulder and a lot of ease which usually swamps my narrow shoulders so I went down one size to a 4 (UK 8). It’s still pretty roomy so I might size down again next time for a different look. It looks more cropped and oversized on me than it does in the samples, and I’m a UK 10 and 5’7” if that helps!

The only change I made was to shorten the neckband to 75% of the length of the neckline because I find every neckband pattern piece ever is too long and doesn’t sit flat, but I probably could’ve gone down to 70%.

Note: this pattern has a 1/4 inch seam allowance which is why I’ve ended up with that weird butt shape at the neckline: I assumed it was 1-1.5cm and placed my pattern piece accordingly ?

I used a French terry from By Graziela (PR product) which was a great weight for a lightweight sweater.
