Original Pattern: Quadrat
Knitter Extraordinaire: Yoko (Rav Id, Blog)
Mods: Yoko lengthened and narrowed the sleeves slightly, added a lovely ribbed funnel neck, and added several inched of ribbing to the hem.
What Makes This Awesome: Both the original pattern and this modification are so gorgeous, and so completely different. The original looks like you could knit it in a cool cotton, and it would be a great summer sweater. Yoko's deep ribbing at the hem and the matching funnel neck add a lot of warm to this sweater, and really up the cuddle factor- now it's cozy and chic, just perfect for winter. I absolutely love it.

Thank you to share. Nice modifications, better that way from my point of you. You're right, she's quite inspiring and her blog has a tool to translate in english/french.
Have a nice knitting week!
I think the original Quadrat is great, but I LOVE this modded version. The longer length is fantastic. This is the sort of sweater I would absolutely live in!
Oh Julie, I love this one. I think you're right, a cotton one could be perfect for spring.
I really like the mod. I love the sleeves now. The others would be really cute with a long sleeve tee underneath.
Those cables are exquisite. I like what you did with the neck as well; it looks like it would be more comfortable to wear that the original.
So beautiful! What a great mod.
Love how she added the ribbed funnel neck, it really makes this sweater.
This looks great with the addition of the turtleneck. Lovely modification!
