This sweater is inspired by the murmuration flight and also the plumage of the often underrated Starling. The yoke reflects the mesmerizing murmuration where large flocks of these commonplace birds come together in the twilight and move as one in wavelike patterns. The body, sleeve and ribbings mimic the different plumage patterns.

The sweater is knit from the top down and separated into body and sleeves after the yoke. Beginning with a provisional cast-on, the neckline is finished last, shaped with a few short rows before completing a twisted ribbing. The body is knit straight, but the sleeves are brought in towards the cuffs. Ribbings on body and sleeves are corrugated, in two colours each.

Starling sækir mynstur sitt til mynsturflugs og fjaðra hins oft vanmetna Starra.
