How best to sing the praises of this stylish stranded pullover? Scofidio elevates its one-by-one colorwork by playing with proportion and personalization, welcoming the knitter to dream in color and engage with their inner artist. Work every row of the upper body in a unique contrasting color to best express yourself, or cater to your chic closet with modern neutrals and a monochromatic palette. Purl dashes accent the colorwork columns with a punctuation of texture and contrast, continuing down the shoulder into the dropped sleeves. Stitches are picked up for the collar then folded over to finish for a satisfying and balanced neckline.

Construction

Back, front and sleeves are worked flat from the bottom up. Shoulders are joined together using Joinery Bind Off, and then stitches are picked up for the collar which is worked circularly, then folded over and sewn into place.
