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?
Wow, a great interpretaion of this lovely hat pattern.
That’s so cute! I love those little sheep, it’s great to see them on a baby sweater 🙂
Not only is that sweater really cute, but what a brave knitter for taking scissors to her work and Frankenstein-ing it back into a workable sweater like she did!
What a wonderfully cute sweater!! I love it.
The sweater is nice.
ADORABLE! Now I want to make one too! But holy cow, that picture of the construction scares me!
Sheepy cute. And bright and cheery. Never a dull day with that color!
Isn’t that just amazing! Beautiful work
I’m the Mary who made the mod; cutting sticky wool is pretty easy cuz it’s sticky
I ended up with two sweaters to donate to Help Kids India. Worked out great.
