Notes	I'm in love with that pattern, it's so fast to make ! This one is a thick cashmere wool fleece, soft and very warm, perfect for winter. I made a few modifications: - Added about 7 cm to the body length; - Serged the hem and sleeves as the fleece is too thick to hem conventionally; - Used 2 different colors on the sleeves as I didn't have enough blue fabric; - I didn't use 2 layers of fleece for the neck as it would have been too thick. I lined the inside with a light viscose knit instead. I've chosen to wear it with the serged seams apparent as I like the structure it gives. It is fully reversible so I could wear it the other way round but since the fleece is thick, the seams are a little bulky.
