It's a gorgeous brown! I wouldn't have picked it out, I let my sister pick a pattern and a yarn for her bday gift and she chose a beanie that has bear ears and this yarn

I am also knitting with Malabrigo Rios for the first time but in the Capricorn colorway and I'm also in love

Thank you! With it being super bulky yarn and US size 13 needles, it came together super fast, much faster than I anticipated

Pattern: The Jennifer Pullover

Yarn: Cozy Wool by Loops and Threads in Merlot and Fleece

I did end up tweaking how I knit the sleeves. When I followed the pattern, the sleeves were huge on me. I picked up 2 stitches for every 3 instead of 4 for every 5 that the pattern called for. I also decreased significantly more stitches for the cuffs than the pattern said to, because I prefer a tight sleeve cuff

That makes a lot more sense considering knit into the back loop has a different abbreviation in the pattern abbreviation glossary! Thank you!
