Original Pattern: Harriet

Knitter Extraordinaire: Elspeth (Rav id, Blog)

Mods: Oh So Many! Elspeth turned the Harriet cardigan into a pullover knit in the round. She added waist shaping, changed the neckline to a flattering scoop neck, eliminated the first 5 inches of the original pattern, and adjusted the gauge. For even more details on her mods (and there are plenty more!) see her project page, here.

What Makes This Awesome: It’s hard to believe that this mod and the original are even related!Elspeth took the elements of the original that she liked the best- the diamond pattern and the garter edging- and used it as the foundation for a highly personalized take on the pattern, that suits her to a T. The resulting pullover is modern, very wearable, and oh so gorgeous. Just look at the amazing sleeve detail:

Just stunning. Man, now I want one…..
