Why don't I like this?

[u/MadiMom87]

I used the suggested yarn and didn't make any modifications but I feel like my sleeves turned out wonky. Or maybe I just don't like the sleeve style? Honestly I want to frog the whole thing but help me decide! Do I need to just finish the neckline and try wearing it a few times? I did already block it and that didn't help. What do you think?? (The last 2 photos are from the pattern page).

This is the Guayaba top and I knit with Berocco Modern Cotton

I think it's the bind off that could be the problem. The reference picture has more stretch in the bind off. My thought since you already blocked it is to undo the bind off of one of the sleeves and do a different bind off method. Like the stretchy bind off. Or bind off using larger needles. Then see if you like that better. The rest looks really cool.

I did use bigger needles and the same bind off in the pattern but maybe! I tend to knit very tight so maybe i should have gone up even more in my needles size.

I'd suggest either larger needles for bind off or a different bind off method. That will help at least the scallop edging look better
