I really loved doing this pattern, it was the first Garnstudio/Drops pattern that I'd ever done and I wasn't disappointed.
The patterns are written well and if you do have a problem you can submit a request for help, I found that any questions I had were answered within a few hours.
Crocheted in what they call 'top down', you start at the shoulders working the sleeves at the same time, then join the pieces at the sides.
I used the recommended yarn - Drops Safran, which is a cotton yarn, 4 ply. I used peach colour. The yarn is soft and has a silky feel, was really nice to work with and didn't split like some cotton yarns do.
I did find that the side seams were a bit tight, might have been my tension but I added an extra chain stitch on each turning chain section just to help ease the tightness.
The pattern repeat is 7 rows and the instructions are given in diagram form which to be honest I can't get on with, so once I've studied the pattern I always write it out into a notebook writing the instructions for each row stitch by stitch. (e.g. 1 dc, 10 treble in next stitch etc.)

Happy Crocheting!
