Along sweater is designed to be something
that everyone can afford to knit,
something that makes knitters think more
creative, and make their artwork. That’s
why sweater is knit with affordable/
commercial yarn together with indie dyed
yarn. I think that two darker colors as
a blank canvas is a perfect base to play
with colors, and stash.

This sweater is knitted by holding 4
strands of fingering weight yarn
together, to create bulky weight marled
fabric, knitted with a 7mm needle. Two
strands going through all sweater to bind
together the overall look of the sweater and two strands changing throughout
the sweater. Perfect for cold winter and for using up stash and scraps.

Materials
Yarn: Bulky weight yarn.

The sweater is knitted with bulky
weight yarn, but rather than
knitting the sweater out of one
strand of bulky yarn, the bulky
weight is achieved by holding 4
strands of fingering weight yarn
together.

Two strands of darker color are
carried throughout the sweater and
two strands are changing throughout
the sweater.
