I used a finer gauge yarn than specified in the pattern so I got a 40" circumference or so instead of 42". I've knitted quite a few sweaters by this designer and I usually go for a narrower look. I also shaped the shoulders and shaped the front neckline so that it scoops about 2.5" below the back. My sleeves are also a bit narrower than specified. I finished the neckline with some purl rows.
I anticipate wearing this top quite often in the next few years.

Beautiful. I love the color, Betty. Yumiko is one of my favorite designers and I too, prefer a narrower sleeve in most garments. Thank you for the Hempathy review. For years I have been holding onto a small collection of Hempathy in several colors, none enough to make a whole garment but plenty for a shawlette. You have spurred me on to Get Started! Chloe
