Vintage Tie Jacket Reviewed by Nikki Jordan on 2011-11-06
I had no problems with the pattern. I checked my gauge and actually had to use a 6.0 hook but it turned out perfect! I know everyone varies in how tight or loose their stitches are so that may be where some people have had problems with the sizes. I wear a size 7/8 and I used the instruction for the small and it first just right. I'm 25 and have been crocheting for 15 years and this sweater is totally worth the time put into it!
