Unlike some of my designs- this one involved no travel. Instead a black and white mandala design that I came across on the internet inspired this sweater. A traditional fair isle raglan – knit from the top down – the colors chose themselves when I found the Louet Gems yarn and played with the different colorways. As long as you keep the dark/light color balance almost any color way in a light worsted weight yarn could work. I hope to see many other color combinations in the Geometric Mandala pattern. Enjoy!
