Description

“Mathematicians have found that they can approximate the branching pattern of a tree by repeating a “simple” set of rules over and over. They call this an algorithm. In word form, the basic algorithm for the columns of branching cables on this pullover is as follows: every time a line splits into two branches, one continues on the same path as the original line and the second veers off at about a 30 degree angle…

I purposefully incorporated some traditional elements of the British guernsey into this design - the drop-shoulder shaping and the simple ladder pattern between the columns of cables - and like (sic) the way they play against the naturalistic, very modern, branching cables.“
