The OpArt is a baby / toddler / young child’s pullover that’s knitted top down. The front and back are worked first, back and forth in rows, and then joined together under the arms and knitted in rounds.

The sleeves are then worked top down too and are seamless. The shoulder seams are sewn.

The two-coloured pattern, with a slight variation between the body and sleeves, is simple to memorise and creates a a jazzy effect with more than a hint to Britain’s vibrant 1960s. The OpArt is fun to knit and fun to wear. Cool!

Note the pattern only has charts.
