Modification Mondays: Featherweight Meets Minimalist

Original Pattern: Featherweight Cardigan

Knitter Extraordinaire: Klara (rav id, blog)

Mods: Klara cast on fewer stitches for the top section to reduce the volume of fabric around the neck, and make the neckband more narrow. Since this cardi is called Featherweight Meets Minimalist, I'm sure you can guess what happened next- she used an all over double moss stitch to mimic the minimalist cardi texture. The collar is worked in 1x1 ribbing, and cuffs in 2x2 ribbing. 

What Makes This Awesome: For those of you that ready the blog regularly, you know I'm a sucker for a great pattern mash up- it's like doubling your pattern knitting satisfaction!  I love the double moss stitch texture, the simple style, and I'm a sucker for grey. This is the kind of cardigan that I wish was already in my wardrobe- so wearable, you can throw it on with anything.  Admit it- if you knitted this, you'd wear it all the time! Project page is here.
