Boy, I really struggled with mine, but at the time only one other person on Ravelry was working it also, so pretty much going it alone! I ended up doing a ribbed neckline trim to try and keep the shoulders from falling off. Still not entirely successful, not sure if it is because of my narrower shoulders but with larger bust size instructions, but I'm still pinning Betty to an underlying tee to keep those shoulders up there.

Maybe the "filling in" ideas you offer here would have worked. And if you do Betty in a solid, could do the "filling" in a contrast color for interest.

This is great. Thanks.

I've looked at some versions finished by other people and they comment on how short it comes out. Do you have any suggestions of a good way to make it longer?

Thank you for this! I liked the sweater, but not the neckline so now I can make it!
