Well I am for sure not a size medium, I finished the sweater, was a good exercise, I will have to find a size medium recipient. I put the black sweater on so it would show up better, I did the buttons but to me it looks better without.:hook Opps the Sweater is from Crochet Magazine March 2006 edition
The front of the sweater on me sorry it's not real clear

on the hanger maybe you can get the detail this way. the pic is clearer Edited to add I made the sleeves and entire sweater longer, Crop tops just aren't my thing.

It turned out great, Emilyann. I actually think that it looks like it fits you. Are you concerned that it doesn't button across the front? Not too many sweaters are ever worn buttoned up! I fear that if you made it much larger, the open-work stitches would cause it to be limp. It's very flattering on you. :)

Wow, it looks good. I love the pattern. I could never figure out the 1st row. I have done that stitch before, but my 25 stitches came out about 18" long and it just didn't seem right. Good job:cheer .

That is gorgeous! I love the pattern....

Funny that I would click on your sweater right after reading the thread about checking gauge... I am currently making a sweater that I have NO idea what size it will be... I guess I'm a wild woman, living on the edge and not checking gauge...

I sure wish I was a size medium... be happy to take this beauty off your hands, though I don't think you'll have any problem!

That looks fantastic! I love the openness of the stitches. I think makes it drape better IMOP.

That is gorgeous -- and it looks so nice on you. Can you say what yarn and hook size you used? I prefer the longer sleeves and length, too. I like yours better than the one in the magazine. Great job. :-)

Hey! Guess what? Thanks to your clear instructions I got past the first few rows and am all the way to the body! You ROCK!

I did make a mistake somewhere as the was a big gap on the neckline where the "butt end" of the base chain is. I didn't notice it until after I joined the armholes and tried it on.:(

I just couldn't bring myself to frog so I attached some yarn, chained 5, attached to the other end of the gap and took a little stitch.

Once you get going it is pretty easy:)

I used the same hook as called for in the pattern but I used a WW off white, I think it is Caron one pounder.

Yep I did that too if I hadn't been doing the top part over and over again to explain I would have done that too!!! I made one example thru row 5 or 6 in about 4 or 5 different yarns, so by the time I was doing it for real and got more rows into it I had already made the boo- boos! Good for you persistence pays!!!! I don't know why but this one was particularly hard to read ..
