Rated 1 out of 5 by from Very poor instructions So, far I have found 4 sets of instructions for this sweater. Just found the third one today! Sure wish designers would really review the directions for projects! Very frustrating! Found the video line for it, thought I’d found the right one. NOT! Was told that the video was wrong and was going to be removed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comment on previous review - on the sleeves Reading the reviews is always important to me as I look at patterns. In the previous review, there was confusion in jumping from 40 stitches in the first row, suddenly to 60. In the Foundation Row, it says, *P1, (K1, P1) in next stitch> That gives you an increase in every other stitch. That's how you jump from 40 to 60 stitches. I love the flow of this and can't wait to try it!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not like the picture I followed the directions to the letter except for the bottom of the sleeves. In the directions it says 40 stitches, then magically jumped to 60. The sleeves ended up being 3/4 instead of full, and it wasn't as wide as the picture. I'd like to know the size that is pictured because it isn't the medium. However, it is very cute on and was a fun project.
