Virrvarr is a tailored Ziggurat pullover and a little work of (op) art.
The stranded all-over colourwork design starts with a double-knitted funnel collar. From there you build tailored shoulders with a crochet cast on before continuing in normal Ziggurat fashion with a hint of body shaping.

Finish your work of art with a beautiful lined hem and cuffs – double-knitted or not. It’s up to you!

• Ziggurat: everything is knitted in one go, top to bottom
• no seaming
• very few ends to weave in
• all-over stranded colourwork

As usual, there’s the Helpful Table to keep track of increases from shoulder to underarm cast-on.
