I'm so proud of this! Yarn was lion brand's made with love in "knit one purple one" using a 4.5mm hook for the ribbing on the bottom and sleeves, and 5.5mm for the rest of it. I'm a newbie of less than 2 months, but I've been a knitter for 4 years and never got the courage to knit a sweater, so this is a big achievement for me! It's so warm and comfortable
