There is certainly no way I should knit my very first sweater from a Japanese pattern, when they use an entirely different set of needle sizes, the sizing is "one-size-fits-small-people, the rest of you have to convert it yourselves," and I would just be randomly guessing at how much yardage I need.

But I really like the pattern.

I think you should try it! Buy more wool than you think you'll need, and if it doesn't work out you could always unravel it and try a different sweater from the same wool. If I were you I would find a cardigan pattern to fit your size, and use that information to upsize the pattern.

You're going to do it anyway, aren't you? :)
