This might almost be a classic striped sweater, but the Chinese-inspired flower pattern, by way of Kenzo and DVF, changes it into something new and fresh. I call it Intarsia Light, because there is relief from the concentration in the striping, and you have no more than 3 bobbins at any one time…A great sweater for your first Intarsia effort!
It’s shaped for the female form and knit flat( because, Intarsia…). It has a gentle A-line, narrow sleeves and a slightly deepened crew neck line.
