Modification Monday: Ms. Bennett-Darcy
Original Pattern: Mr. Darcy
Knitter Extraordinaire: Cheryl (Rav ID, website)
Mods: Altered this men's pullover to fit and flatter a feminine shape, using her hip measurement as a basis for her calculations.
What Makes This Awesome: I loved this sweater when I first saw it. The texture and classic shape (along with the prefect sweater name!) were so attractive, but I never stopped to think if I could change it up to suit me. I'm so impressed that Cheryl took the pattern and modified it to make a gorgeous, flattering sweater for herself. It looks beautiful! It's so chilly here today, and I'd love to slip into a cozy sweater just like this. Awesome project guidelines on how to modify any men's sweater into a smaller woman's sweater can be found here.

That jumper looks ideal for the winter, love the colour and the shape. Really clever.
Wow! Still roomy and cozy, but totally feminine. What a great job!
