I did use a pattern. This was a vintage pattern from Etsy. no. 2905 The model on the front page looked super in this 😊 See second photo. This was completed in January. The project was an in between project to have a break from knitting heavy Aran pattern sweaters. 🙂 The yarn suggested in the pattern is no longer available. I sought help, from Lovecraft team as to what yarn to use. Especially for a stand-up collar. Wool mix the suggested yarn. It was the best. 🙂 I used a smaller needle as completed size, according to sizing chart, would be too large for this customer. 🤔 This proved to be a success too 😊 Item completed 29 Jan forgot to photo when completed. 😔
