Modification Monday: Zephyr Morning

Original Patterns: Zephyr and Velvet Morning

Knitter Extraordinaire: Julie (Ravelry ID)

Mods: Preferring to knit top-down, Julie used Zephyr as the cardigan design, and added the Velvet Morning colourwork charts to the body only. Project page can be found here.

What Makes This Awesome: This is a great lesson for anyone who has fallen for a colourwork chart- you don’t have to knit that exact pattern just to use the chart! Julie used a cardigan design that she knew and loved, and added length and the colourwork charts to the body. The result is similar to the original design, but totally customized for the kind of knitting that Julie wanted to do- top down! A great solution, and the sweater looks beautiful.
