“This piece is called the Harmony Jacket. It uses three different yarn weights: fingering, chunky, and super bulky. Let it include your favorite colors. In visual communication, a color palette is made of colors that work in harmony with each other to express an idea, a feeling, a mood, a vision, a hope, a dream. And in color theory, harmony can be objective. It’s how we arrange colors according to already established color principles like how they meet and match on the color wheel. Harmony can also be subjective. It’s a group of colors that don’t follow the rules but the combination challenges the norm, inspires and delights us. To express unity, you can do what I did and use monochromatic colors — two colors in the same hue that vary in lightness and darkness. In knitting, there are all kinds of ways to bring colors together.

In this pattern, we’re gonna use intarsia to create color blocks in a seamless way. I imagine every color and strand of yarn is a person, a country, a radical idea on how to manifest our wildest dreams for ourselves, for each other, and for the earth with each element different and varying and still coming together in harmony.”

This sweater uses two different yarn weights in two different colors brought together using simple intarsia techniques. The body is knit flat in one piece from the bottom up. The sleeves are seamless and knit in the round on DPNs. The sleeves have such an interesting construction! They are knit in the round and seamless, you will work 1 RS row and 1 WS row to be able to join the two colors together. Then you will join the body and sleeves to work a raglan yoke. Slipped stitches separate each section and travel up into the collar.
