I’ve grown to love beadwork. The motifs in this sweater are meant to evoke the simple Moroccan geometric shapes that you find in many of the deco (decorated) tiles.

The silk/merino/cashmere yarn from Woolen Rabbit makes a lovely, soft, warm but lightweight fabric with wonderful drape; no wonder Opal Kim’s (the dyer) go-to sweater yarn. The sweater is shown with an inch or two of ease, with figure-flattering shaping in the form of front and back darts.

Notions & Other Supplies: Extra needle or waste yarn for provisional cast on; (6) stitchmarkers; Crochet hook for beading; Yarn needle
