Original Patterns: Crazed Scandinavian Cowl  and Fair Isle Pants
Knitter Extraordinaire: Tanya (Ravelry ID)
Mods: Combining the pattern for the fair isle pants with the stranded design from the crazed Scandinavian cowl, Â changed the gauge from worsted weight to fingering. Details can be found on her project page, here.
What Makes This Awesome: Hands up who would love to have these amazing leggings in their wardrobe right now?! I am crazy in love with these crazed Scandinavian leggings (couldn’t resist!). Tanya set about using the fair isle pants pattern for her guide, and swatched with her fingering weight yarn to figure out which size of the pants she would need to make to account for the difference in gauge. She picked great neutral colours so that she could maximize the wearability of these leggings (I’m pretty sure they go with just about everything), and I recommend checking out her project page for the great detailed notes as well as loads of pictures, including the great contrasting waistband and the side ‘seam’ details. I’m completely blown away by these leggings, and so inspired!
P.s- this isn’t Tanya’s first showing on Modification Monday, she also did this incredible Laika mod here!
Crazy stunning knitted pants!
Totally blew me away! Hats off to Tanya!
Oh my! Those are insane!!! I can’t believe it’s hand knit – looks so perfectly even! Tanya, you are an amazing knitter! Thank you for sharing, Julie!
I LOVE THEM! Oh goodness, I’ve been wanting these all my life. Crazy awesome leggings. Thanks for sharing, and kudos to the knitter extraordinaire.
Leggings in fingering weight yarn? Oh that would take ages and ages xD But dang do they look comfy!
WOW!!! Seriously, I can’t even describe how much I LOVE these! These would take me about 30 years to complete – I bow to Tanya’s amazing knitting skills!! (She needs to quit her day job and get about putting out patterns and designs) 🙂
Holy wow, those are incredible! What a great mashup-I love the idea of fingering-weight leggings, and these colors definitely will go with everything 🙂

those are a work of art! I’d never let anyone wear them!!
That is hardcore to knit up some Fair Isle leggings.

That’s just too cool. Most ambitious project!
These are amazing, and *fingering weight*! That’s doubly amazing to me. Stunning!
I lovvvvvvve these! They are simply amazing.
Wow! Just wow! What an inspiring modification!
I don’t know which impresses me more…the project or being able to put them on without getting tangled in the floats and suddenly getting dressed turns into an episode of I Love Lucy. Lol.
Knitting will never get boring or lose the excitement of what can be done next.
Tanya you are an inspiration.
