Striped Pullover Sweater Reviewed by Casey on 2008-10-16
This was my first adult sweater. I didn't like the striped pattern so I changed it up. I used red for the top part of the sweater and black and gray on the bottom striping to add some youthfulness. Very impressive looking when completed, and pretty easy. I had a little difficulty with the collar (not sure what I did wrong) but I had to sinch it up a bit so it would lay down flat. It is very warm sweater if that is what you want. I would suggest you use a size up than required to make sure it fits.
