When I was contemplating the purchase of the yarn, the store employee pulled up this pattern, which someone else in her shop had knit. The beauty of it is that you CAN (and IMHO should) knit it with larger needles. That, along with the weight of the yarn, is what makes it featherweight. You do not wind up with a bulky, heavy sweater.
