1 (XS) - 32"Cropped LengthNo Waist Decreases43732.551.755Yes. The changes I made are those I normally do due to how my body looks.Yes I am!! It's a very cool piece and if I were to make a second one I'd do it just like I did this one. The only issue is that it rides up a bit when I raise my arms but I'm not sure what would prevent that as this is how tops work - I think it's simply more visible because it's such a short top.

1 (XS) - 32"Cropped LengthOption 143133427It was appropriate None
4
1 (XS) - 32"Cropped LengthOption 244532418Definitely. I want to note that my gauge was a little off, but I was also using a largely cotton based yarn. This fits me very well! The finished bust measurement came out at 34” for 2” positive ease on me. More measurements listed in my ravelry project page! I will certainly knit this again. I would like to increase the length by maybe an inch next time, but this is just for personal preference on length of crops for me. The length as written was enough to cover my bust comfortably.
5
1 (XS) - 32"Cropped LengthOption 245129428The only part I'm not happy with is the fit of the underarm - it feels a little tight and I think it could use more stitches cast on when separating body/sleeves and/or adding some length in stockinette to the sleeves. I would try casting on a few extra stitches in the underarm.
6
1 (XS) - 32"Cropped LengthNo Waist Decreases4633371.756I think sizing worked incredibly well for my size. I liked the suggestion of sizing down for the crop, and am curious to see what a looser ease for the crop would look like. The only change that I needed was added length to fit over my boobs - without length it just barely hit the top of my nipples lol. It seems from pics that people with smaller chests didn't have that issue.I wouldn't change anything other than the added length!
7
1 (XS) - 32"Cropped LengthOption 25203341.258YesThe complete lack of stretch in the silk I chose was a challenge - next time I’ll use wool
8
1 (XS) - 32"Cropped LengthNo Waist Decreases520344.2516.5No. I went for a size smaller as instructed for my busy size but, per usual, although that could work for my bust the tighter fit doesn’t work for my stronger shoulders. I should have knit a S or (even a M for a cozy jammy-vibe fit). The underboob is strong with this XS and I am not busty!I would knit at least one size up and increase the body length another 1-2”.
9
2 (S) - 36"Cropped LengthNo Waist Decreases238.6534.55.751.759Yes! Since I am such a tight knitter it's kind of a crapshoot to figure out gauge, even if I'm going with my appropriate size by bust, and all I had to do was go up a couple needle sizes to get gauge.I am happy with my finished object! I'd love to knit the longsleeve version of this and reduce the raglan increases to every other increase row for the sleeves only to get a more fitted sleeve once it reaches my bicep, then cast on stitches for both sleeve and body when separating them. My yarn choice was also not great, I should have gone for a really soft single ply merino or alpaca etc., I used a Shetland 4 ply and it's SO ITCHY.
10
2 (S) - 36"Cropped LengthOption 2432365.751.57For the crop, I think 0 ease looks good, but for those who want to knit only to the true underbust length before starting ribbing, I think it would be helpful to have a little positive ease to prevent as much riding up. For me, I will only wear this with no bra or lace/thinly lined bras, because a bra that increases my bust measurement at all results in enough stretch to lift the stockinette portion above my underbust a bit - which isn’t a problem, just a consideration. If I knit the crop again, I’d probably add an inch or so of ease.
11
2 (S) - 36"Cropped LengthNo Waist Decreases48635.54.251.59The length of 3.75” was very short, the stockinette did not cover my bust at the 2” markI love it! I would add 1” to body next time for a slightly longer crop
12
2 (S) - 36"Cropped LengthOption 2544.8353.81.88.5YesYes, it’ll be one of my year round staples!! One small modification that I may make if I were to knit another one is to separate sleeves earlier as I have very short arms and torso(I’m under 5 feet).
13
2 (S) - 36"Cropped LengthOption 2546.4344.751.758YesYes - very happy with it!
14
2 (S) - 36"Cropped LengthOption 1585.2355.51.757.5YesI would definitely make it longer.
15
2 (S) - 36"Cropped LengthOption 16423641.758.5YesYes! I might knit the body for an extra inch or two because I have a long torso.
16
2 (S) - 36"Cropped LengthOption 2849358.514.58Yes I loved this pattern. It really shows of fun yarns and it’s easily customizable.
17
2 (S) - 36"Cropped LengthOption 1909.1348148I think the sizing was appropriate.I am happy with my sweater. I hope to add some length after the test.
18
3 (M) - 40"Cropped LengthOption 292436529Yes!I LOVE it!
19
3 (M) - 40"Cropped LengthNo Waist Decreases52838.55.529.75I didn't take the instruction to size down seriously because I like an oversized FO, but I definitely would size down next time if I do another silk/linen blendmostly happy, I would size down because of the linen/silk
20
3 (M) - 40"Cropped LengthOption 1648.236.541.758.25Yes and the pattern is written to be customizable which is fantastic I plan on knitting another cropped a bit longer and the sweater many times over
21
3 (M) - 40"Cropped LengthOption 1663361019.5Yes, it fits very wellI’m very happy with it! Next time I’d probably make the full length sweater
22
4 (L) - 44."Cropped LengthOption 1690444210YesYes! As I’ve said before, I should’ve added more length through the body before ribbing, but alas I was afraid of losing yarn chicken. Now that I secured more yarn, I’ll be going back and adding length so it can become a more regular piece of my wardrobe.
23
4 (L) - 44."Cropped LengthNo Waist Decreases727.1436.5210.5Yes! You definitely worked your magic with making the bust size fit proportionally with the finished garment.Yes! I forgot to do the set up rows for the tubular bind off for the bottom hem but still did the tubular bind off.
24
4 (L) - 44."Cropped LengthOption 17624410.251.759I think the length was too short for bustier people, I would have added more length before doing the decrease rows, especially if the raglan is shorter in the revised version. I am glad I went back and added the length, I love where it hits now. If I made this again I would do a Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off because I am a very tight knitter and the tubular bind off is a little tight on me, maybe because I did 4 rows of double knitting or because I am tight.
25
4 (L) - 44."Cropped LengthOption 17694451.759.5YesVery happy. I'd knit it exactly the same.
26
5 (1X) - 48"Cropped LengthNo Waist Decreases8134851.512.5Yes, it was perfect for me. I managed to get gauge exactly right. Yes, I’m happy! Knitting the sleeves of a long sleeve version now!
27
5 (1X) - 48"Cropped LengthOption 1113945.591511.5It fits very well I def am. I wouldn‘t change anything. Oh and BTW, all my measurements are taken from the unblocked sweater.
28
6 (2X) - 52"Cropped LengthOption 2767534.5112YesEverything is perfect!
29
6 (2X) - 52"Cropped LengthNo Waist Decreases856525111.75For me, the sizing was fine. I used a yarn with a similar fiber content of the sample used in the pattern (I used a wool/silk/bamboo blend) so I knew the size would differ once the garment was blocked. I love the size my finished garment ended up being after blocking though; It grew more than I expected, but I prefer to have a looser fit.I love my cropped sweater! It's super comfy, knit up relatively fast, and it's really cute. I will definitely end up making another one (perhaps the longer version next!) The pattern as-is was thorough, well written, and easy to follow so I wouldn't change a thing.
30
6 (2X) - 52"Cropped LengthOption 289052.55.5212Yes. I am very happy with it! I would separate the sleeves before completing the raglan increases for the body and knit the sleeves slightly longer to decrease more stitches since I have smaller arms.
31
7 (3X) - 56"Cropped LengthNo Waist Decreases862.45851.59.5Yes - I like how it fits! Yes happy with it - would maybe k it the crop a bit longer by 1-2 inches next time.
32
7 (3X) - 56"Cropped LengthNo Waist Decreases119453.551.513.5It’s lovely! I like a bit of ease but I’m not sure the sleeves are the right length because of the depth of the raglan. I think I would challenge myself and knit a size smaller or perhaps a mash up? I’m happy with the bust fit but I think the sleeves could be a bit snugger. This says more about me than your lovely pattern
33
8 (4X) - 60"Cropped LengthNo Waist Decreases1291574.54.514YesI wouldn’t make an accidental mod! I love it.
34
1 (XS) - 32"Classic LengthOption 2576285107.5YesYes! I want to try the short sleeves
35
1 (XS) - 32"Classic LengthOption 26503410197Yes- and I loved having the variety of ways to waist decrease. Love it! I would make it again as is!
36
1 (XS) - 32"Classic LengthNo Waist Decreases8942810.2515.57.5Yes, I would say so. I wouldn't want it any looser than it is, but it's very comfortable.Yes, I'm quite pleased with it! I wouldn't change anything. It would be fun to make a mohair version though.
37
1 (XS) - 32"Classic LengthOption 1920281016.58YesYes. I might do fewer rows of the second raglan section (maybe 6?) if necessary, since my raglan depth ended up deeper. Or not, since I still like it as is.
38
2 (S) - 36"Classic LengthNo Waist Decreases838347.514.58Yes!Yes, wouldn't change a thing!
39
2 (S) - 36"Classic LengthNo Waist Decreases1082351517.58Yes. Yes
40
3 (M) - 40"Classic LengthOption 1758371289.75I’d do no waist decreases next time.
41
3 (M) - 40"Classic LengthOption 1844369.5169Yes, perfect.Yes. I would knit another slightly longer version with sleeves that don't decrease just for variety.
42
3 (M) - 40"Classic LengthNo Waist Decreases1066388.514.258.5Yes! Perfect fit Yes I love it. The only thing I’d change a second time is a different fit such as the cropped version or go up a size if I wanted a more oversized version. But as is, the pattern is very enjoyable and fits great!
43
3 (M) - 40"Classic LengthOption 11075.5397.75189.5I would make the body length slightly longer in the written pattern, as I worked the full version and it still feels pretty cropped to me. Yes!
44
4 (L) - 44."Classic LengthOption 21000428.514.511yesyes, yes I decided to use a more affordable yarn and the outcome was nice. Different but still nice quality sweater
45
4 (L) - 44."Classic LengthOption 211554091511YesI'm pretty happy. If I were to make it again, I would go down a size or maybe make the arms smaller.
46
4 (L) - 44."Classic LengthNo Waist Decreases12154091812Yes!I'm very happy with it! I want to try a short-sleeved version with the other yoke length, and probably make another size as a gift for my mother.
47
5 (1X) - 48"Classic LengthNo Waist Decreases825.9456.54.512.5yesAbsolutely! If I were to knit it again I'd probably knit and inch more or less on the sleeves so they bunch at my elbow less, but otherwise I adore the size and fit
48
5 (1X) - 48"Classic LengthNo Waist Decreases984448.51311I find that the raglan depth is long for me. I maybe could have sized down, but the sweater is a comfortable size. It has ease but it doesn't feel big except around the armpits. My sweater has about 4" of ease which is comfortable around the body but feels like a bit much in the armpits. The sleeves taper nicely and fit well around from my elbow to wrist. Yes. I might try a short sleeve version and size down but no major changes. My sleeves ended up short because I forgot to add length after the decreases but that's just a me problem.

*A note about my yardage. I used 246 grams of a light fingering weight alpaca. I lost my labels so I am guessing at yardage but the weight is accurate!
49
5 (1X) - 48"Classic LengthNo Waist Decreases13114213.51412Sizing is good Super happy! I plan to knit another one
50
6 (2X) - 52"Classic LengthNo Waist Decreases13154971813The collar area for the sweater was much looser than I expected after blocking, even though nothing else was. I was surprised by that as the rest of the sweater fit the way I expected. (This could totally be my error)I'm ambivalent about it honestly. The collar is looser than I generally like to wear, so it will only get worn with wider necked shirts for me. I also was not expecting it to be so cropped compared to the original CCR. I would knit this again with making the next size down's collar and grading up, and making the sweater the same length that the original CCR is. I do LOVE the lifted increases and how they look for the raglan increases. The construction of the sweater was also overall super fun to knit.
51
6 (2X) - 52"Classic LengthOption 2139650111411.5Always!Oh heck yeah I’d make it again. I love my original and I love this one.
52
8 (4X) - 60"Classic LengthOption 2172154711.2513.5yes, the armhole was appropriately roomyyes, but I would add length
