Original Pattern: Lightweight  Pullover

Knitter Extraordinaire: Ida (Ravelry ID)

Mods: Turned the funnel neck long sleeved pullover into a short sleeved, crew neck sweater dress. Details can be found on her project page, here.

What Makes This Awesome:  It’s been a real wave of awesome sweater dresses, hasn’t it? ‘Tis the season! We have seen that it’s great to go with a top down sweater pattern so you can try it on as you go, and that you need to add in some waist shaping and then increase more than you would for a pullover to all for some ease in the skirt, but we haven’t seen This one has been modified to be a winter layering sweater dress, specifically with short sleeves, so that there’s the option to wear it over long sleeved shirts or on it’s own. Ida adjusted the neckline to a crew neck, adding k2 p2 ribbing to echo the hem. And then there are the great stripes! Each of her stripes is 20 rows, providing a great graphic look.
