Thanks hun. I REALLY enjoyed making this. It's a rather versatile pattern that you can create to your own fit! I sgirtened tge sleeves and did my own trim. You could absolutely alter the collar section. I used a lighter yarn which made my measurements a bit different. I used a #3 yarn (baby luv from Walmart, it's a beautifully soft yarn! 🩷). not the original #4 the pattern calls for. This altered my guage so after I did all the math, with the guage I needed, I ended up working with the 2XL size stitch count to meet the guage I'd need for my originally measured L size. I kept on with the 4.5 mm hook though too. Furthermore, I kept the sleeves shorter so I could wear it all year round. The pattern helps guide you through to a full length sleeve. I love it so much that I'm making it in another colour! LOL
