Knitting a back to school sweater

I love top down sweaters and this is an outstanding pattern.There are some well thought out twists to this pattern. I had already changed my usual rib on sweaters to a twisted rib and was pleased to see this change was written into the pattern, there are short rows in the yoke, also the sides will be slightly fitted, all of which I think will add in making this a very nice sweater.

Pattern: Yellow Brick Road Cardi
Yarn: Cascade Pacific
Colorway: Navy
Needle Size: US Size 7 & 8
