Top Down Seamless Sweater
Knit during the 2020 pandemic this sweater is knit seamless from the top down. The sweater is knit in a combination of yarn weights with a heavier weight for the collar and a lighter weight for the belt.
I chose Malabrigo yarn due to its close to body softness and color choices.
According to the designer:
The starting point for this pattern was a picture of a wool panel, made for the Tutankhamun exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1978. It had vibrant colors and depicted wings or feathers. I instantly loved it and wanted to use the colors and forms in a sweater for my mother, which resulted in this top-down design.
