Original Pattern: Bella's Mittens
Knitter Extraordinaire: Isabelle (Rav id, shared blog)
Mods: changed the ribbing/stockinette/cabled mittens into seed stitch and cabled arm warmers. They were knitted flat instead of in the round. Project page, with full details how to duplicate her mods, can be found here.
What Makes This Awesome: I love these armwarmers. I think they are a wonderful take on the pattern for two major reasons: the length and the stitch. The over-the-elbow length adds a bit of drama and more style than the typical armwarmer. And as demonstrated in the photo, they can easily be scrunched down for a more casual, slouchy look that is only covering the forearm. Then there is the seed stitch- such amazing texture!
Those are really cute. Love the mods she made.
ReplyDeleteWow, lovely! :) Now I really want to make this pattern - but I think I may have to do this version. Thanks for showcasing it.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous and I agree, the over the elbow bit makes them particularly gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I was thinking of doing these with a flip top mitten, but now I know they don't need them. They will be a great way to work in cropped, 3/4 sleeved jackets once it starts getting warm again!
ReplyDeleteThose are SO COOL. Ack, I want some now!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cool! Too bad I can't knit with bulky yarn. :(
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I love the whole outfit, including the fistful of knitting needles.
ReplyDeleteYou are THE modification hunter! Always catch something great! Wow! I love this weekly post!
ReplyDeleteI love theses too - I'm definitely an armwarmer kind of lass.
ReplyDeleteThey look so soft and cozy!
