The shape of this garment and the navy and neon color scheme were inspired by 80s knitwear. A bold geometric pattern and unusual construction come together to create a garment that’s as fun to make as it is to wear.

The sweater is made by joining square motifs. Sleeves and yoke are worked separately in two flat pieces and then joined.

Gauge:
Each square is 4.75” before joining.
Yoke and sleeves: 16 sts = 4”, 11 rows = 4” (after being blocked).
