This sweater was designed for my son, it seemed that nothing seemed to fit right on him. It has a roll collar, is a close fitting vest, that looks crisp but not GOOFY when he goes to school. Thank you for trying my pattern! I'd appreciate any feedback or comments you may have. You may reach me at vinnie@swin.baynet.de
