Original Pattern: Baa-ble Hat

Knitter Extraordinaire: Mary (Ravelry ID)

Mods: Using the baa-ble hat pattern charts for the yoke and Mary Jane Mucklestone’s “Fair Isle” book for the striped peeries, Mary created cozy warm stranded children’s sweater, which she made for the Help Kids India campaign. Project page with great details can be found here.

What Makes This Awesome: I’ve been seeing a lot of wonderful modification inspired by the charts from this hat pattern, and this children’s sweater is definitely one of the knockouts.  And what a caring, generous thing too donate this sweater to a charity that is important to her.The yoke of this sweater is taken form the original design, and then Mary  echoed the black and white of the sheep with the great peerie stripes. And I love the photo below, which shows how Mary put the whole thing together. I find construction to be a fascinating part of a modification, don’t you think?
