It’s got a cool arrangement of interconnected diamonds, with each section changing just enough for an engaging colourwork experience from the get-go. This pattern is relaxing and rewarding, with primarily short floats and colourwork that goes beyond the sleeve separation. Knit in sport weight yarn, this sweater pops with high-contrast colour combos, making the intricate diamond pattern stand out.
