Pattern Description: Mohair knit top with dropped shoulder. (It's the short version of the pictured dress)

Pattern Sizing: I made a 38, my usual

Were the instructions easy to follow? As long as you know how to attach bias binding (to the arm & neck edges) you don't really need any instructions, it's just two pieces.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? So simple, so quick, and it used up a small piece of mohair I've had in my stash for ages

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None. My usual fitting problems (droopy shoulder, narrow chest, broad back) don't affect a top this loose fitting.

Would you sew it again? short-sleeved woollen tops are always hard to wear: if it's cold, you want your arms covered. I've decided to use it as an extra layer over a long-sleeved top. I probably won't make it again

Conclusion:
Really quick & easy. I like the armholes, but they are cut low enough to show your underwear

Thanks for the heads-up about the armholes! I like how you styled it with the top underneath.

Nice ensemble. I personally like layering especially for my semitropical and somewhat desert like climate!
