Original Pattern: Hourglass Sweater and
Francis Revisited
Knitter Extraordinaire: Aileen (
Rav Id)
Mods: Took the general shaping of the Hourglass Pullover, and added the cuff, hem and neckline details of Francis Revisited.
What Makes This Awesome: Hey, who doesn't love a 2 for 1 deal?! The Francis Revisited pullover is a drapier, less fitted pullover than the Hourglass. By using the Hourglass as a template for the body costruction, it gives this sweater a more body-concious and figure flattering fit. The funnel neck and moss stitch hem and cuffs give the sweater its Francis feel, making it the perfect marriage between two projects. And I must confess I'm a bit of a sucker for funnel neck sweaters, so I love the idea of adding the neckline to a different sweater. Project details are

Love the seed stitch edging! Such a nice touch. I hate seed stitching, but it looks so nice! I'm constantly torn.
Modification Mondays have grown to be a favorite of mine... nothing beats waking up to go to work and instead goofing around looking at patterns! (let's hope I'm not late for work ;) )
I LOVE both those patterns, and to see them together is so cool.
What a beautiful sweater! It's a brilliant 2 in 1 sweater and it looks awesome on you!
I like the mix. It makes for a nicely shaped and detailed sweater.
my kinda modification --a cowl neck! I absolutely love this....thinking I may have to give that hourglass sweater a second look.
What a clever mod, thanks for the tip!
Oooh, I love a good mash-up :)
Hourglass is one of my favorites and I adore it with that funnel neck. Such a great, wearable knit!
Love it when a turtleneck doesn't look bulky...well done!
