Seattle is known for its beautiful layers of grey surrounded by striking pops of color. This sweater was designed to capture the essence of the city and incorporate the surprises of color that nature has to offer.

Each section of the sweater has its own identity. The sleek lines of the back bring a sense of streamlined architecture, and the simple cabled panel in the front implies a passion for art and fluidity. The sleeves are the statement maker -- just when you thought life was as to be expected -- look again.

The pattern is highly adaptable: you can change the color scheme, or decide the front and the back will both have the twisted rib panel and leave the cabling off altogether.

Swatching is important with this pattern. First, if you choose to play with colors, you’ll need to test how they look against each other in real life. Also, Quince and Co Lark yarn grows quite a bit in wet blocking, so to have an accurate size, it’s important to check gauge on plain knit fabric that has been wet blocked.
