Modification Monday: Wasabi Atelier


Original Pattern: Atelier

Knitter Extraordinaire: Nicola (Ravely ID)

Mods:  Changed from DK to laceweight, added back darts, applied i cord edgings and smaller pockets. Project page with details can be found here.

What Makes This Awesome: I love it when people change the weight of a knit to the point where it changes the whole look- the pattern takes on a delicate featherweight quality with such a light yarn, and I love Nicola's solution to add waist shaping with back darts. Shrinking down the size of the pockets was also a thoughtful mod, since changing the weight to make it more delicate means that the bigger pockets would have easily overwhelmed the sweater. It's perfection!

Super pretty. The back darts really add a lovely element to this already elegant design.
