Modification Monday: Boreal Wannabe
Original Pattern: Boreal
Knitter Extraordinaire: Momo (Ravelry ID)
Mods: Changed sweater length, fit, neckline, added a pocket and altered the chart for length. Project page can be found here.
What Makes This Awesome: This mod is a trifecta of modified awesomeness- fit, neckline, and added detail (that pocket!). The sleeker fit is especially chic with the tunic length, and the garter stitch cowl neck is wonderfully cozy for the cold weather. Changing the chart so that it ended higher up the body is also quite flattering. Momo often modifies her knits and there are many on her project page to choose from, but I particularly liked this tunic, which seemed modified in a way that made it feel more classic and timeless. And how cute is her little one peeking out from under her arm in the top photo?!

I really like the original pattern, but that neckline just puts it over the top for me. I do love a cowl!
Beautiful!!
And yeah that top photo is adorable ♥
That's really lovely! Tunic length sweaters are the best!
Wowza -- that is stunning. Agreed that the neckline makes it a work of art!

I agree! It's very modern! I love the colors she chose for this, too. So soft!
Yowza! I love this mod! Beautiful sweater. I want one now. I don't care if I'm to short to wear it. I want one!
