I love this pattern but I'm disappointed that it didn't come in smaller sizes. The smallest is a 34 which is my actual bust measurement. This design needs to have negative ease. The back view shows that the sweater doesn't quite hug the body the way it should. In retrospect, I should have tightened it up when I put the crochet edging on. I was also a little rusty with my crochet skills. It's been years. There was a graph type thing with the stitch pattern which was somewhat unclear. I didn't get it quite right up the front and around the neck, but I figured it out for the rest! Overall, I'm pleased with the results and I'm sure I will wear it.

I love this! Where did you get this pattern?
I'd need to make it in a bigger size.
Is the pattern at Ravelry?
This is Giselle--the one we've been doing for the KAL. This is the cropped version. You can get it at www.stitchdiva.com
It's very nice! Lovely color.
