Indicum (Latin for indigo) is a beautifully simple pullover with a minimalist embellishment of corrugated ribbing, a simple two-color technique. This light sweater is made from two fingering weight yarns -- choose one for the body, then use leftovers of your favorite sock yarn to add at the collar and hems, either a similar shade for a subtle accent, or a variegated yarn for a unique look. Indicum is simply knit from the top down, all in one piece, with minimal finishing. The scoop neck is formed with short rows; the sleeves are knit down from the underarms and end in very slight puffs. This lovely piece is perfect for transitional weather, layering, and playing with color.

ERRATA:

  • Page 5, 2nd column: Sleeve cuff decrease round should read “K3, k2tog…., then k2, k2tog…” rather than K2, k2tog and k1, k2tog.
  • Page 3, 2nd column: Under Yoke Inc Row #2 and Size 2XL ONLY, there should be one additional sentence under the two rows: “Rep last 2 rows 4 more times.”
