When we planned on meeting in Lisbon , Portugal for our summer vacation, I decided to make something for my parents in law and This is what i made for my father in law.
I have made the same jumper for my husband last year so it was much easier to make it this time. however, I still was not sure about his size and i decided to use M & L both for different parts for his size.
Indeed, It seems a bit big for him but it looks so good on him.
It didn't take so long to make it although I had to recall some technics and I was bit confused between knitting & crochet from time to time because of my small memory storage.
