Sediment sweater
Think of an ultimate stay-at-home sweater, long and cozy. The name was inspired by the mosaic colourwork, in which each next row lies on top of the previous one, creating the texture and mimicking formation of rocks.
The pullover is worked top down seamless in the round, featuring a round yoke with a contrasting mosaic colourwork. The body and sleeves of the pullover are worked in a simple textured “moss-like” pattern.
You can take a closer look at my sample and discover the design process in this podcast episode.
