Original Pattern: February Lady Sweater
Knitter Extraordinaire: Milja (Rav Id)
Mods: Created a top-down short sleeved dress using the lace pattern from the February Lady Sweater for the main detail of the dress. She has fabulously detailed notes on how she created it here.
What Makes This Awesome: I love how Milja recommends on her pattern notes to use an existing pattern or construction that you know works for your body, and then add the lace. This is such great advice- if you know a pattern that suits your body perfectly, it can be the perfect jumping-off point for a world of gorgeous knits. And this dress is incredible!! I love the shape, the lines, the colour - it's the perfect garment for the fall weather when you need some transitional pieces. And it looks amazing belted, don't you think? Just beautiful.

I really love it with the belt, and the color is fabulous on her.
What a great idea! I had seen the pullover version, and this is yet another fantastic variation.
oooh, i love it! great mod.
Oh man! What a fantastic mod! I would never have thought that something so stunning would be so simple in execution. Genius.
I love that, just don't know if it would look cute on my giant hips. It looks great on her though!
I'm making the FLS now. I love this version as a dress.
this is a really great idea! a great alternative to people who don't really dig the silhouette of the original FLS. Love it!!

Brilliant! I LOVE it with the belt, and I love the slightly fuzzy yarn she used.
