Frankenpattern sweater

I recently finished this "frankenpttern" sweater. The body of the sweater in terms of sizing and stitch counts came from the Herbsaint pattern. I knitted that pattern at the end of 2018 and it's posted here. I love that sweater and wear it quite often. This sweater also uses the same yarn, which is Batiste by Knit One Crochet Too and one of my favorite yarns. For the stitch motif, I adapted the design from the Moonflower Dolman pattern. I liked the stitch motif but not the fit or gauge of that design. I'm just as happy with this sweater as with the Herbsaint version. For warmer weather, I can wear it without the layer underneath.

Here's a view of the back, which actually has not one, but TWO errors in the stitch pattern - one on the top and one on the bottom. Maybe I should have skipped posting the photo of the back so that you wouldn't see the errors. :) The errors are both in the center and I was amazed that I never noticed them until I was almost finished with back.
