I chose this sweater and made it in a deep cranberry colored worsted wool.
I'm really torn about the review. The sweater is really simple to knit, but it looks awful on me. If you're ample in the bosom area, consider some other pattern maker. The raglan sleeves really enhance the bust line. Also, these patterns seem to have been designed when sweater lengths were shorter, so double check the measurements and adjust accordingly.
I love the simplicity and ease of working the KPS patterns, but unfortunately they look terrible on me.
This is one of my favorite sweaters and I will knit it again. The pattern is easy to follow and it would be so easy to add a cable or two to it! Go for it!
This is a very easy sweater to knit. Even the neckline is easy by simply following the exceptionally clear instructions. I have used a couple of KP&S patterns now and find them easy to follow and the finished product something of which one can be proud.
Love, love, love this sweater. I made it out of Berroco Remix (A perfect yarn for this sweater!) I decreased stitches on the underarm of the sleeves as I knit along so they'd be tapered a bit, only 10 stitches in total and I'm glad I did.
If you have narrow shoulders you may have to adjust the amount of stitches you pick up for the ribbing. I also wear this sweater with a turteneck and with a scarf. Very versatile style.
