The Amalgam pullover alloys oversized statement-making cables and long columns of open drop stitches. The synthesis of these techniques creates a rich, highly textured textile. The resulting sweater is an amalgamation of function and style that pushes expectations for what hand knit garments look like. Tag me @JamesNWatts on Instagram and Tiktok and use #AmalgamSweater
