This is one of the final projects that I made last winter before going off to Nepal. It hasn't been worn much yet but it was an easy make and I really like it, so I expect it will eventually gets lots of wear.
The fabric is double faced merino from the outlet fabric shops in Auckland. It's dark olive on the outside and a more subtle dusty aqua on the inside. I went with version 1, and size S. I loved the inside colour but I couldn't think of any nice way to use it as accents, as the olive is very clearly an exterior sort of fabric - it won't catch on anything, but it's also not as nice against the skin, whereas the texture of the aqua inner is more like usual merino.
A raglan sleeved sweatshirt is pretty simple as sews go. The fit is good, and I'm glad I didn't bow to temptation to make an XS. I wouldn't make any changes to this pattern for fit.
