Inspired by the changing of the seasons and the prominent colors we tend to associate with each one. Stratified was designed to bring together a complete palette of a particular season while also allowing each color to stand alone. Autumn, which is my favourite season, was the inspiration behind the palette for my sample. With this design, I love the idea that one could essentially convey any of the 4 seasons depending on the palette chosen.

Stratified is worked in one piece, from the top down, starting with the neckline. It is entirely seamless. A series of short rows will be worked after the collar to shape the neckline. The color-block stripe design of Stratified uses five colors within a four-stripe repeat. The color transitions flow through the pattern allowing a particular color to appear in differing size stripes throughout. The raglan shaping emphasizes the clean lines of the stripes, while subtle texture and eyelets enhance the pattern and keep the knitter engaged to the end.

Stratified is written with two body length & two sleeve options: Cropped or Full-length Body as well as a Cropped or Long sleeve, to provide the knitter with a variety of mix & match finished knit options.

Stratified is an Advanced beginner / Intermediate level pattern.
