Interconnectedness

Interconnectedness is an intricately-patterned pullover inspired by the idea that humanity and the earth and all it’s creatures are all interconnected in beautiful ways we will never fully understand! The body features an alternating twisted stitch textured diamond pattern giving an interwoven look. The sides of the body and sleeves are worked in a 1x1 ribbing. The boxy fit and boat neckline make for a sweater that is easy to layer and mix and match in your wardrobe. Interconnectedness was knit up in a blended hand spun yarn, but any worsted weight yarn can easily be substituted!

Construction: The front and back of Interconnectedness are knit in pieces, flat. Short rows are worked over the ribbing to shape the shoulders. Shoulders are seamed using the 3-needle bind off and the sides are seamed leaving space for the armholes. The sleeves are picked up and worked outward from the body in the round.
