It is indeed comfy @Ouryve. The pattern is drafted for woven fabric but there's a section in the instructions on adapting it for jersey. Here it advises cutting the band shorter and stretching when attaching it between the shoulder seams. That worked well - I like a cardi/jacket to nestle my neck, in any season.

Ah that would make a difference. I usually like a shaped piece because I find straighter bands stick up round my neck otherwise

Looks lovely, and the colour looks so nice on you.
