Modification Monday: Margot

www.knittedbliss.com

Original Pattern: Margot

Knitter Extraordinaire: Kelly (Ravelry ID, blog)

Mods: Changed the gauge from sportweight to Worsted, adjusted overall fit for a more form fitting shape with added bust darts. Project page with more details can be found here

What Makes This Awesome: I love that Kelly found this beautiful yarn that she wanted to knit with, and went for a great way to modify a sweater- She swatched and figured out that if she followed the pattern for the small size (generally), it would come out in her size with her worsted gauge. To get the close fit she was looking for, adding shaping around the bust is a brilliant idea and this projects was the first time she tried the technique! What is so effective about Kelly’s modifications for a more fitted sweater is that it fits great without being too tight, shows off the yarn exactly as she aimed, and got a fantastic fitting sweater for her efforts. A total win.

p.s. Kelly’s sweater reminds me of when I knit this sweater, which I adore! Must be the colours.
