I decided to take on the Eloise Girls Sweater, for Diva. It took a very long time, mostly because I had to learn 2 new stitches (she has video instructions and written instructions!!!) and make a few adjustments for Diva's shape.
Changes I made:
-I added a few extra color rows
-I only did the linked double crochet on the rows that changed to the other color. It really helped with the weight of the "skirt"
-I added a few extra rows (I think 2) before I started the row that starts the sleeves.
-I also centered the opening.
Diva LOVES it, wears it to school almost every day. I found some ladybug buttons that I'm going to add at the waist and I stitched the "flaps" down since she didn't like how they rubbed her neck.
