Bowline Sweater

Reviewed by sewuthinkucan on 25th July, 2017

This is the famous Bowline Sweater, but it’s a dress! The intriguing shoulder drape first attracted me to this pattern.

This dress is basically a hack that I’ve been dreaming about for a while. I omitted the sleeves and added a skirt with pockets. Thus, the resulting dress has interesting details especially the cut-in shoulders.

I will definitely sew it again! I had cut it once last Christmas in another knit fabric but never got around to completing it, so it’s going to be ready for next Christmas. If time permits, I might make a maxi version before summer ends.

I will eventually make the top with the sleeves for the winter but I looove it as a dress! I entered it into the Hack It challenge on The Monthly Stitch blog this month.
