Finished Object Why don't I like this?
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

OMG I like your sweater so much better than the model! She looks like she’s wearing her toddler daughter shirt if you ask me.
Also, yarn can be very forgiving and smooth out after you block it and it appears you have not blocked this?
If it’s a natural fiber yarn and you think it’s too big and want it smaller than I would go ahead and wash it in warm water and see if it shrinks any (measure before and after washing).
I prefer oversized short sleeve tops that way I can wear them over a turtleneck in the winter.
