This pattern is part of Wabi-Sabi, The Beauty of Artisanally Made Yarns, published by Nomad noos.

The Japanese definition of nature or naturalness (shizen) distinguishes itself from the western definition as it includes human intervention. While we are most prone to see nature as something untouched and wild, the Japanese describe nature as being intertwined with humans.

Shizen Pullover or Sleeveless version.

The pullover starts from the middle of the back with a provisional cast-on and is worked up toward the shoulders. The back is split into two and the right and left backs are worked at the same time but separately with different balls of yarn to form a deep V.

NOTE
The pullover starts from the middle of the back with a provisional cast-on, and is worked up toward the shoulders. The back is split into two and the right and left backs are worked at the same time but separately with different balls of yarn to form a deep V. After short rows for shoulder shaping, the braids are worked on the top of the shoulders, then the fronts are worked down first separately, then joined and worked to the chest. The front and back are joined by knitting a braid, then worked down in the round. The body is split again for the hem, and the back hem is worked longer.
To add sleeves, stitches are picked up around the armhole and knit in the round straight, then decreased to work the cuff.
You can choose the depth of the neck. The shallower neck’s instructions are in gray.
