Having been asked by Lucinda Iglesias, the owner of Mont-Tricot, to design something for an Artyarns Merino Cloud Gradients Kit, I thought a pullover would be a fitting item (no pun intended) for the wonderful gradient colorway picked by Lucinda.

The resulting garment is an all-occasion simple and wearable sweater featuring raglan sleeves, worked seamlessly from the top down with two strands of yarn held together in a simple broken rib pattern that provides visual interest while not distracting from the subtle color changes in the yarn.

“Aliyah” was designed in collaboration with Mont Tricot. Kits available here.
