Mmmmmmmmmmmm...Missoni

Pattern: Butterick 5247

I cut a size 8 and graded to a size 10 in the hips by taking a smaller seam. I usually cut a size 10 in knit patterns, but according to the finished measurement, I took a size 8. For this reason, I think the pattern runs a little big.

I sewed view B and it was super easy. I was finished in about 2 hours which is probably a record for me in sewing time. I had been looking for a pattern that would be simple enough to flatter this gorgeous Missoni Sweater Knit I purchased from Fine Fabrics back towards the end of Dec 2008 when they were on sale.

If I can find some more Missoni, I will probably make this pattern again in a shorter tunic version to wear with skinny crop jeans. I definitely recommend it to others. I think it would be a great pattern for someone who has never sewn knits and is wanting a simple pattern to begin with.
