Knit and Photographed By: Doodlesknit
Pattern: Hourglass Sweater by Joelle Hoverson in Last Minute Knitted Gifts
Yarn: Sundara Yarn ASM in Branches On Winter Sky (less than 5 skeins)
Finished Size: 36"
Pattern Modifications: I added lots of length to both the body and the sleeves. I re-spaced all the shaping accordingly and exaggerated the flare on the sleeves and body.
Notes: This is a great, simple silhouette. I love the contrast of the strongly patterned fabric with the simple hemmed edges.  I knit the body in the round with single skeins, but for the sleeves the stitch counts were giving some pooling. So for them, I alternated two skeins and from time to time I looped out a color to make the patterning more random.
