From the book: “Sarah Dallas is experimenting with graphic knits, using geometric patterns to give interest to flat weaves. This asymmetric checked sweater is knitted in stocking stitch relying for its effect entirely on the bi-colour blocks of black, white and grey and on the varied width of the stripes.”
