I needed a simple pattern to get over my jean fitting frustrations. I’ve been interested in the patterns from The Assembly Line. I really love the silhouettes. They’re just my style. I choose the High Cuff sweater for my “easy” project. My only word of caution is that the patterns are very expensive and the size range is limited.

FABRIC
I used Robert Kaufman Shetland Flannel for the body and Art Gallery knit for the bands. The patterns suggests using rib knit, but I’m not a huge fan of rib knit. I didn’t have to make any alterations to the knit bands since Art Gallery knit is so perfect.
SIZING
Based upon TAL’s size guide, I would be a size “M”, but for this sweater I decided to go up a size just in case. I’m glad I did. The pattern only goes up to a size “L”. In the end my alterations weren’t as quite straight forward as I would have liked. I fussed over the shoulder alterations quite a bit before I settled on the final version.
