Original Patterns: Mon Petit Gilet Raye and the Baa-ble Hat

Knitter Extraordinaire: Karen (Ravelry ID)

Mods: Adjusted gauge for sportweight, added in the sheep motif from the baa-ble hat pattern,  and made the neckline smaller for more of a crew neck cardigan. Details can be found on her project page, here.

What Makes This Awesome: This isn’t the first time Karen has modified the Mon Petit Gilet Raye pattern- she was also featured last month for her very different take in the Striped Cardigan in Plum. This time she went for a more neutral palette and adjusted the neckline to be less of a boatneck and more of a classic crew neck cardigan, and worked in the ever-popular sheep motif from the Baa-ble Hat pattern. The effect is perfection- the sheep are just right in the placement on the yoke, and the smaller neckline is very flattering.

Plus I love the detail of the slightly variegated yarn for the sheep – it’s a small detail, but so perfect!
