The Oblique Sweater is a top-down knit sweater that celebrates geometry, texture, and color. Inspired by the clean angles of an oblique rectangular prism, this DK-weight design features bold diagonal color blocks that flow seamlessly across the body and sleeves being seamed together.

The diagonal line creates soft, beautiful transitions between each color section, offering a slightly lighter and thinner fabric than its Tunisian counterpart while maintaining the same modern, architectural feel. Whether you go all tonals or mix in variegated colorways, the Oblique Sweater offers endless opportunities to play with 4 to 6 shades and make the geometry uniquely your own.

Note: The diagonal lines continue on the back of the sweater. I need to get an updated photo to show the back.
