Yarn: Jaeger Merino DK in Mocha.
Pattern: Mini Sweater by Glampyre..
Needles: 5mm.
Notes: I thought this pattern would be perfect for this time of year – something to cover up in the evening – or in the temperamental London weather. This pattern knits up as quickly and easily as the OSW.

I wasn’t keen on the puffy arms like Diana I decided to ignore the extra increases in the arms. The pattern specifies increasing until around row 17 when the sleeves should meet under the arms, but I had to do a few more rows of increases for this – to compensate missing out the increases in the puffiness. However, this resulted in the main body being bigger, so instead of meeting in the middle it crossed over, I could have ripped it back to row 17 and just added the increases in the arms and not the main body (worked that bit straight), but I decided to let them cross over and added a snap fastening on the inside and the button.

Also the edge, was a little girly – like the sleeves, so I just crocheted a row of single crochets around the edge to add some texture and colour.
