elen
Wednesday, August 24, 2016
I made the body a few inches longer than the pattern calls for, as I didn't want it to be cropped. The sleeves were shortened by 2 inches as the pattern calls for extra long. It was fun working on the "mesh lace" pattern. That kept it interesting.
Pattern: Elen
Yarn: Sanibel, color #1320, horizon
Needles: US 7
Size: medium

Wow, that is seriously gorgeous! Looks like a super fun and interesting knit too��
ReplyDeleteYou do know that when you wear that to work people are going to be disappointed it's not available at the shop, don't you? The mods are so great. I like the extra coverage myself as well. Xo
ReplyDeleteThat turned out beautifully! Nice job.

ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this on Rav and thinking, no, a cropped sweater is not for me. But you've made it into something gorgeous for real grownups! I've been back and added it to my queue now ;)
