The pattern has open sides, like a poncho, but I didn't like that idea so simply sewed them up.
I didn't have enough yarn to do it all in grey so used the cream and made a split at the centre working one stitch out into the grey on each row to give a V design, I think it gives a nice effect and used up all the left over yarn. I also split the neck as I don't like roll neck, again I think it looks effective and looks nice when worn.
The yarn is Paintbox Simply Chunky and is lovely to work with.
