Off Shoulder Cropped Sweater Trials

The honey mustard cropped sweater started out as the above. I had a different idea for the fit of the sweater and I kinda made it too small however, my awesome niece squeezed herself into it. I could tell she was slightly uncomfortable but she did her best not to complain lol.  I took my own constructive critique and went ahead and posted the photo anyway. People actually like it!

I decided to take my time and some measurements so that I could work on the pattern. It took me a while and I'm still not sure that anyone other than myself can even understand or follow. This one may call for a couple video tutorials. So far it has evolved into the one posted below.

I have taken notice of the inconsistencies and some obvious changes I felt I had to make. Maybe it will morph into two separate patterns. Right now I am working on another one more like the first version but in another color. At this point I am testing my own patterns and learning to covert into more sizes. I've been researching size charts and recently started measuring anyone who would let me. I think I have come to the conclusion that all my designs may not translate well into written patterns. Reality is my pieces are slightly different, no two pieces will be identical. I also think that is the beauty of it . Each piece is truly unique.
