Catch & Carry - The Subtle Effects of Armenian Knitting

This style of stranded knitting, made famous by the haute couture house of Schiaparelli in 1927 with the Bowknot Sweater, uses two colors, with the motif color carried throughout on both patterned and non-patterned rounds. The technique of carrying both colors and catching the floats allows the motif color to peek through on solid rounds giving a subtle heathered effect.
