Hourglass by DanDoh (Silk+ 5-sk Kit)

Hourglass by DanDoh (Silk+ 5-sk Kit)

Twisted rib produces sheer fabric, and a large cable makes a bold fabric. This sheer and bold combination makes this a sleek pullover.
The body and sleeves are a little flared even though you knit it without any shaping because cables pull the fabric in. The flared shape adds an elegant look.

The pattern includes the following adjustments/options to make your own style:

• Choose the combination of chest size and length
• Body length adjustments
• Sleeve depth/length adjustments or sleeveless
