Modification Monday: Honey Stitch Cowl
Original Pattern: Honey Stitch Cowl
Knitter Extraordinaire: Michelle (Ravelry ID)
Mods: Changed the gauge from Bulky to Worsted, and adjusted the length/circumference to make this a one skein project. More details can be found on her project page, here.
What Makes This Awesome: I suspect most knitters would look at the lovely original pattern and think, ‘oh, but I don’t have the right yarn for that’, and either make a mental note to look for that yardage of bulky in a colour they like, or move on. But Michelle looked at the original pattern and at a single worsted skein she knew would make a wonderful cowl, and figured she could make a smaller cowl that suited the yarn she wanted use. Cowls with this sort of construction are particularly good for a great mod like Michelle’s- it’s knit lengthwise, using a provisional cast on and is seamed/grafted together at the end to make a cowl. That means you can literally knit until you are almost out of yarn, and them seam or graft it into a cowl. Just look how beautiful the result can be!
