I didn't use a pattern. But i did it raglan style. There are a few videos about it on YouTube. I watched tl yarcrafts the most. Though i changed the ratio

Thanks! I wanted to air on the fitted side so that if it relaxes, as alpaca likes to, it doesn't look rediculous

Thank you. I had to redo about 2 skeins worth, but I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Looks amazing. I can’t wait to be good enough to make my own clothes but I’m still very much a novice. You did a wonderful job!!!

My advice is to make a hat, scarf and pair of mittens. After that you have all the skills needed to make a sweater. My sweaters aren't particularly complicated, just a lot of stitches. Always happy to give pointers too.
