Enigmatic
PATTERN STORY
I was watching Project Runway reruns and saw this designer who did pattern clashing and I knew that I needed to create my own problem pattern sweater. I came up with 2 coordinating motifs. One inspired by historic Russian knitwear which is complimented by a simple check pattern.
SKILLS NEEDED
Knitting in the round, stranded colorwork, increasing & decreasing in pattern, german short rows.
This pattern is appropriate for an intermediate knitter.
GARMENT CONSTRUCTION
The garment is knit from top down, in the round. Sleeves and body are separated and knit. The collar is then picked up and knit.
