Per my logic on pattern prices, this third Renfrew means that the pattern was free!
After seeing several more Renfrews online, I noticed that some people have been using sweatshirt fleece – and they look comfy! I went to Rose City Textiles looking for sweatshirt knit but their selection was not great. I perused their sale room and came across this awesome fabric 50% off! It's a performance fleece, and very warm.
It doesn't have as much stretch as jersey so I had to fiddle with the pattern sizing once again. I basically went bigger all around, but tried to keep the shoulders narrower.
Since I liked the look of the wrong side of the fabric (maybe a little more than the right side even), I opted to turn the inside layer of the cowl wrong side out, along with the sleeve bands.
This is the closest I've come to making a winter appropriate top. I only wish that I had added pockets.
