This classically styled unisex cardigan draws inspiration from a 1930s stained-glass light fixture with panes stacked in a cascading brick pattern. Placed at the sides and under the arm, the intarsia adds just a touch of drama. Want a little less contrast? Choose two shades of the same color for a subtler pattern.

Read the instructions carefully when working this pattern so that the intarsia isn’t interrupted by shaping.
