Hourglass by Yumiko Alexander has a twisted rib that 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
