Original Pattern: Fair Isle Cardigan
Knitter Extraordinaire: Momo (rav id)
Mods: Turned a fully patterned fair isle cardigan ito a scoop-neck raglan pullover with solid sleeves. The pullover was knitted in the round with faux seams, which were created by a single purl stitch to represent the seams.
What Makes This Awesome: To really appreciate how different this looks, you need to go and check out the original pattern. I already liked the original cardigan, but this pullover is such a great modification- the pattern takes on a real citrusy feel when done in a bright lemon shade. I love how only the body is done in fair isle, it gives the pullover a casual, unfussy look, and probably shortens up the knitting time considerably, too! Project page is here.

Just looked at it in VK and now I can see where the inspiration come from! Great idea! I like the plain sleeves too.
wow, I love her color choices too!
AND I found this on rav! you're linked up again! I was wondering why you weren't blogging, :)
This is so cute - and I love how fitted it is. She did a great job with this.
I have such a huge knit-crush on Momo!!! Everything she does is so fabulous.
Just fabulous. I adore the limey shade of green with the limey pattern. (I wonder if I could pull that off....?) anywho. She has pulled it off just beautifully.
And can I say that I love your blurbs about other people's brilliant modifications? It's all too easy with a blog to ramble on about oneself. I think this idea of yours reinforces the sense of community in online-knitting-land. Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing these! This looks more modernized than the original -- fantastic.
I always look forward to Mondays now :)
Momo is very talented, I love looking at her projects.
It really is amazing how different her garment is compared with the original and I much prefer hers.
