Metamerism is the phenomenon when two colors look identical in one light but different in another. The two subtly close contrast colors in this sweater sometimes appear the same, and sometimes appear different, giving the colorwork a dynamic quality. The motif is a modern reimagining of a traditional Norwegian Star. The sleeves appear to be set-in and seamed, but are really knit in as part of a yoke. In this sturdy yarn, the seamless shaping minimizes bulk.

This sweater begins with the sleeves, which are worked in the round to the underarm. The body is then worked in the round to the underarms. Arms and body are joined together to work a yoke. When the yoke is completed to the top of the arms, short rows are used to attach the front/back shoulders across the top of the sleeves. A neck edging is then picked up and knitted on.
