I have a whole parade of FO's to share soon and the Grand Marshall kicking it off is the Adorn Cropped Jacket.
This has been done for few weeks but just getting around to photographing it, even though I've already worn it several times. I'm really happy with it!
I have a tendency to choose sizes larger than I should. So after I had highlighted all the numbers for the Medium size I really looked at the bust measurements and realized I should probably just make the Small. Yes, stopping and thinking paid off! A snug fit is much more suited to this look and I can still pin the front closed if I wanted.
I will say I love the look of puffy sleeves, seaming them in however is a whole other matter - ugh. Lots of pleasant details in this, particularity for a free pattern. The YO detail around the armholes makes a neat effect and the Bird's Eye pattern reminds me of polka dots. I even used the recommended yarn and color on this. Nice easy care and wearability with an effortless coordinating neutral color. Now I can extend my work wardrobe and get use out of my sleeveless tops!
Pattern: From the now defunct Adorn Magazine, available via the Way Back Machine. (Ravelry link)
Yarn: TLC Cotton Plus Solid, #3303 Tan (Pattern called for 3 skeins, I squeezed
it out of 2)
Needles: US size 7 (4.5 mm)
Mods: Not much, I didn't bind-off the back neck to avoid having to pick up sts
for the collar.
ETA: I've recreated the pattern stitch chart for this pattern since the original has now seemed to have disappeared and uploaded it here as well as my Ravelry project page.

I love your hair!
I was too busy looking at your hair at first to check out the FO.. but I do love that shrug.
I agree, cute hair.
Then I noticed the FO. Cute shrug!
The shrug turned out so cute.
That looks great on you!
I agree with the previous posts. Great hair and cute shrug!
the shrug looks cute and I love your hair!!
I really like this, I think the yarn sets the eyelet stitch nicely.
That came out very cute!
So cute! And I love the hair-looking back, I realized I didn't notice the red in the buckle tank post, but I love it!
Thank you for pointing me to this nice pattern! And it suits you well indeed!
OMG you're hair is yum!
I had some red streaks for a minute...they were supposed to be permanent but only lasted about a week :(
Cute shrug, but most of all your new 'do is awesome! Cute cut and the red really pops! (And I think I may need to make this shrug, ta' boot.)
