Modification Monday: Textured Jacket
Original Pattern: #8 Textured Jacket
Knitter Extraordinaire: Alina (Ravelry ID, blog)
Mods: Eliminated the collar, added garter edges with a crochet trim, and an overall closer fit. Her project page can be found here, and details on her blog here.
What Makes This Awesome: I’m always amazed at the difference removing (or adding!) a collar can make to a sweater, because it seems like a small thing, but can have such a big impact on the overall look. Alina\ beautiful textured jacket shows just how much impact removing the collar can have- suddenly it looks a lot more modern. The closer fix helps keep her from getting overwhelmed by the detail of all those amazing, tiny cables and twisted stitches, and the simplified garter borders and crochet edges are polished, and don’t detract from the star of this sweater- all that gorgeous texture. As Alina lives in Mexico, her substitution for a great cotton yarn makes this a much more versatile piece of her wardrobe. I love this cardigan!
