Original Pattern: Baby Blanket Latvian Garden
Knitter Extraordinaire: Raquel (Ravelry ID, blog)
Mods: Transformed the stranded baby blanket into a beautiful cowl. Great details to follow her modifications can be found on her project page, here.
What Makes This Awesome: I'm a huge fan of taking a great colourwork chart and using it for other items, and starting with something a bit smaller can make colourwork easier to tackle. This great cowl looks beautiful and is no doubt super toasty warm, thanks to the stranded colour work. Look how cozy Raquel looks in the photo above! Bonus- It looks very fetching on the canine set, too:

Love the colours, really beuatiful. Already had my eye on that pattern - just no time. But it may be easier to do a cowl??
haha! I could agree more! Dogs in knits is one of my favorite things!
I too like colour work but I never seem to do it and I should because done right it looks amazing, its also a great way of using up those leftover bits of lush yarn.
This is a lovely cowl thanks for the link :D ..the originally pattern has been a fave of mine for ages, maybe a cowl is just the thing to tackle the pattern .D
cute doggy pics !
Love the mod - and those doggy pics are just too cute!
What a great way to get a medium-sized taste of colorwork (bigger than a mitten, smaller than a whole blanket!). This one definitely has me thinking of a few neat projects.
The doggie photos are priceless!
Love the pattern and colors for the cowl... I think I need to start my own this weekend :)
