Designed by Claudia Q

I designed the Together Apart sweater at the beginning of
the COVID-19 pandemic. The parallel winding rows on the yoke represented togetherness at a time when we were physically apart.

The adult Together Apart can be found here

The pullover is worked from the bottom up with circular yoke and raglan shaping. The body and sleeves are knit separately in the round to the base of the yoke, then joined. A section of short rows is worked at the back hem for a more comfortable fit.
