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.
