Experience Level: Intermediate
Atmosphere is a comfortable drop-shoulder pullover worked in two to three colors of yarn. Geometric stripes and triangles, worked using intarsia, boldly adorn the sweater on the front and one sleeve. Knitters can choose between using two colors of fingering weight yarn and holding it doubled for the sweater or choosing three colors of worsted weight yarn to be held single strand for the sweater.
Construction Details
The sweater is worked in four separate pieces and seamed together. There is no shaping on the body and the sleeves are worked with increases to create a taper. The front and one sleeve have intarsia colorwork in them. Once the shoulders are seamed, stitches are picked up and worked in the round for the neckline.
