Elin
The sharp and precise lines in @morten.loefberg’s works, drawn with the blue BIC ballpoint pen, have inspired this graphic sweater.
The oversized fit and the bold graphic modules in cobalt blue and pink evoke memories of the oversized sweaters of the 1980s. The sweater combines a modern aesthetic with a tribute to simplicity.
Elin is knitted top-down.
Begin with the coloured shoulder sections, using a
provisional Turkish cast-on using stitch wires.
The shoulder sections are joined at the back of the
neck, and the back yoke is knitted in two colours using
the Intarsia technique. The stitches for the back are set
aside while the front yoke is worked.
Next, continue with the resting stitches on each
shoulder section, making increases to shape the
neckline. Cast on stitches for the front of the neckline,
join the front sections, and knit straight down to the
bottom of the armhole. Here, the back and front are
joined, and the body is knitted in the round to the
ribbed hem, where the work is again split, and twisted
rib edges are worked separately on the front and back.
Stitches for sleeves are picked up along the armhole
edge, in the opposite colour to the body, and the
sleeves are worked back and forth in Intarsia, finishing
with a twisted rib cuff, continuing the colour change.
Finally, stitches are picked up for the neck edge, which
is also worked in twisted rib.
