Pattern Description: Close-fitting tops have front darts, raglan sleeves, stitched hems, and neckline variations.
I made view C.

Pattern Sizing: BB (8 thru 14) I made size 10

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? I believe so

Were the instructions easy to follow? Super easy.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I used this pattern previously...I made view D with the button neck. I loved the fit on me. No dislikes.

Fabric Used: This was a roll-end from EOS described as 'Jones NY all wool doubleknit - rust'.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: The only alteration I made was to shorten the length by 1.5 ". Everything else fit great.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes I might make another turtleneck at some point later on. It's such an easy pattern and with the raglan sleeves it makes up quick. I serged everything except the hems.
I would recommend the pattern. I've made 2 views now and have been pleased with both. I think the pattern runs true to size (it is close-fitting) and would be easy to adjust.

Conclusion: I hadn't planned on using this fabric for a turtleneck but when I got the fabric for the hoodie pattern I realized it would coordinate well as the under-layer.

Thanks for reviewing this and showing it with the hoodie. I've got both patterns and am glad to see how nicely the tops work layered together. I love yours and the fabrics that you used. They look great and so cozy!

Love this top. It looks great under the hoodie as well as on its own.
