This sweater is a great design to knit with your friends. I’ve taught this class many, many times and almost 90% of my knitters finished it and showed it off. You need two diverse color ways of Apex, a blend of Cotton and Hemp. You start at the corner with one of the colors and you increase at the beginning/end of every RS row creating a triangle. You will work until one of the flat edges is the size asked for. These stitches go on a holder. You repeat this process with your other color. When both pieces are done, you knit across the first triangle until 1 stitch remains. Knit the last stitch of first triangle together with the first stitch of second triangle to merge them. The pattern gets you through the merge areas as you work from one side to the other. You get to see the colors change and want to keep going.
