Another self drafted sweater post!
Although I am pretty pleased with this jumper, there are definitely a few things I would change if I were to make it again. I unfortunately made the yoke too deep, which affects how the jumper sits around the shoulders when I’m moving my arms. I also think the yoke shape would have been better if I had designed the motif myself, because in this case I was trying to shoehorn in existing motifs from different patterns, which led to a fairly uneven distribution of stitch increases to accommodate the design I had in mind.
All in all though, a good learning experience and it is exactly what I need for the current cold spell we are having!
Let me know if you have any tips for self drafting sweaters or if you would give it a go yourself?
