I had some scraps of double layer knit left and decided to make a knit top with it.
As my knit scraps are double layer, thick and warm I initially sized up to get an oversized sweater look. I chose the long top with long sleeves. It was a disaster with the saddle sleeves - just looked like a deflated American football player.
I got some advice from sewing buddies and recut the bodice section to better fit my torso and sewed it back together, adding cuff and hem bands to tie the two fabrics in better.
I'm not convinced I'd make this again, but if I did there would need to be some grading between sizes.
