Original Pattern: Citron

Knitter Extraordinaire: Deb (Rav Id)

Mods: Used 4 different yarns in a combination of tones and fibers, added beading to some sections, and used different stitch patterns for some of the bands. Project page, including details and stitches used, can be found here.

What Makes this Awesome: The beads! The stitches! the different yarns all within the same colour group! This is a rare occasion when I’ve actually knit the pattern being modified, and I’m so jealous I didn’t think of this idea first! The original pattern is wonderful, and judging by the thousands of FOs, I’m not the only one who feels this way. It’s a very straightforward pattern that leads to perfect-for-everyone, and straightforward patterns often lend themselves to infinite versatility. Using different yarns AND using different stitch patterns (plus beads, people!) means that you could have a whole wardrobe of these, with different colours, fibers, stitch patterns, and anything else that strikes your fancy. The result is a stunning accessory, and one that is truly all your own.
