Thank you for your generous teaching. I love cotton too, but safety issue: You absolutely do NOT want cotton if climbing mountains. Hikers say, "Cotton Kills" because when wet, it sucks heat from the body and hypothermia is a major killer, even in summer. For outdoor activities, synthetics are better. They continue to insulate when wet and dry faster. Wool is worth considering. I have some cotton French terry I'm earmarking for a tunic version of this project. Excited!
I have that exact same LL Bean pullover. My 18-year-old son now wears it because you know, "it's vintage". Great project - really excited to see how this one comes together.
There are swearshirt fabrics with 100% cotton, sometimes even organic cotton. But I admit they are hard to find and we have to accept them to loose shape faster than polyester-mix fabrics. Ironing helps :-)!
Could you write 'cut one pair' or 'cut two pairs' rather than 'cut two' or 'cut four'? I always find this helps see how things fit together.

I often wear these pullovers, usually in polar fleece, and have been keen to make my own. Looking forward to this project.
Enjoy your blog. I’m going to try your funnel
Fun project! I'm looking forward to this one. Maybe I'll finally hop on board the action train and try this one out. 😁
What a great project! Super :-)
