I made the Stepping Out Coat from Hip Knits and I have to admit I'm not a fan of the way the patterns are written. The paragraph form kind of annoys me (which is just personal preference) and I find it harder to keep my place. The sizing didn't work out, even though the final measurements did which is what resulted in the frogging and second knitting of it. I ended up making the XL for a size 4-6 woman, but it fits so all should be well.
I used appx 7.5 skeins of Lionbrand Thick N Quick in Charcoal and did change the 1x1 rib to a 2x2. The pockets and collar were custom sized because they just weren't big enough in the written dimensions in my opinion. The picture below doesn't show the pockets because I hadn't added them yet.

I love the sweater! Love the length, it is perfect for the upcoming cold. Thanks for sharing, this motivates me more to attempt my first sweater.
I love the sweater. Should I go down in needle size from what pattern says. I'm also a size 6 and can't figure out where size 40 is measuring.
I believe I kept needle size and just went up in pattern size. I'm not sure if it was my yarn or what, but it was a really tight fit.
