Original Pattern: Sweet Pea
Knitter Extraordinaire: Carine (Ravelry Profile)
Mods: Carine changed out the center panel stitch motif, added it on the shoulders, and kept the rest of the design simple for a long sleeved tee. Details can be found on her project page, here.
What Makes This Awesome: The original sweater has a lovely lace panel down the front, as well as half of the sleeves. Carine opted for a simpler, pare-down version – her center panel features alternating bars of stockinette and garter stitch, and it looks SO good! I especially love the additional garer stripes on the top of the shoulders, an elegant epaulette effect that looks so modern and somehow timeless. I would be thrilled if this was in my closet, and I will be thinking about adding in some cool shoulder details like this for a future knit!
It’s lovely!
Ooh, I’m stealing that center-panel idea. I had toyed with something similar once, but nothing as polished as Carine’s.
Well, Carine, that’s a smart classic everything sweater!
Isn’t it the simplest of switch outs that make the most stunning results?
Well done.
Really. A purl welt made this fabulousness. A welt. (Grabs needles, dashes for yarn…)
