The Simultaneous Sweater is a top down knit worked in four colors. This project is an opportunity to explore how colors affect each other when placed side by side. The sweater features compound raglan shaping, a striped all over colorwork pattern and unique angled sleeve shaping. The colorwork is mostly worked in the round, but there are some short rows at the beginning of the pattern that are worked flat.
