The Shapeshift sweater is a beautiful, eye-catching Winter warmer, featuring geometric colourwork dispersed throughout the middle of the body and sleeves. It’s a seamless, top-down, yoked garment that is as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear: the frequent and varied sections of colourwork ensure the knitting is motivating and engaging and the short row shaping and customisable sleeve and body lengths ensure you create a sweater that is flattering and comfortable to wear, tailored to your personal preferences. All in all, it’s a design you will love to create and love to wear for years to come.
