Oversized Turtleneck
Lion Brand® Mystery®
GAUGE: 10 sts + 17 rows = 4” [10 cm] in St st (k on RS, p on WS) on larger needles. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

| Oversized Turtleneck Reviewed by Sasha on 2011-11-02 |

This was my first sweater (and my first more complicated work), and I don't agree that it's hard to follow the instructions. Everything was easy to understand, except one thing: you have to make sure that the decreasments on the upper sides of the sleeves match up to the decreasments on the uppersides of back and front! that was the only thing that was a little hard to get.
I used different yarn than suggested, and also changed the length of the ribbing at bottom and the width of the sleeves, so my sweater actually isn't oversized, haha :P
I recommend this as a good first complicated project :)
