Offset Stripes Pullover Download
Tayler Harris's captivating Offset Stripes Pullover is very simple, slightly unexpected, and absolutely wonderful! This pattern has you knit in pieces, using intarsia to create the eye-catching, staggered stripes. With just two colors and one switch, it’s the gentlest introduction to intarsia a knitter could hope for… A fantastic pattern for learning a new skill! After seaming the sides and shoulders together, you pick up and knit the sleeves and neckband in the round. Looking for a soft and cozy feel, Tayler cast on for her Offset Stripes Pullover in our gorgeous Brume, a super lovely mix of 58% mohair, 25% wool, and 17% silk.
