The pattern is very easy to follow, clearly written and the videoguides are very helpful. The finished top looks very nice. I get a lot of compliments every time I wear it :)
I was also between an S and M and decided to go with the M, which was the right choice.
As a true beginner, I knit this as my first top project after knitting the super easy slippers.
I found the instructions overall super easy to follow, especially with the video.
But I found it hard to understand when the video refers to Neck Side and Arm Hole etc. - as a true beginner, I have no idea what side is what, so that was confusing and led to me knitting an arm strap on the wrong spot.
I'm new to knitting (I've done 2 Sophie scarfs and a beanie before :)) and was a bit scared of doing my first "real" piece of clothing. I have to say the pattern and description was really good to understand and the video honestly was extremely useful for me. It really made me understand everything so much better. I find that often I don't have the knowledge yet about techniques or even small things stated in knitting patterns, so the videos was truly great. I also wanted to say that I opted for Hobbii Friends 100% Cotton yarn (8/6) for this as I wanted it to be a little less warm to wear in summer and it worked like a charm - so I can 100% recommend this as a yarn alternative. If you're between sizes I would recommend to go with the bigger one (I was unsure between S and M and opted for M and that was the right call :)) Thanks so much for this great pattern!
A beautiful result! Very simple pattern!
