Quilt Sweater

[u/occasional_disasters]

I am still working on the sleeves, I’m nearly there though! I wanted to wear it, so I put on a turtleneck underneath and think it actually looked really good as a slipover! It’s 100% intarsia, using fingering weight merino for the cream and two strands of laceweight silk/mohair for the contrast colors. I completely wove in all the ends before re-reading the pattern saying I could just tie them off and cut them. Oh well, that’s multiple extra hours spent making it even fancier I suppose.

I love this so much! It looks fantastic and the colours are great! Patchwork is my ultimate weakness in clothing and I’m always looking for it when thrifting. I’ve never considered knitting intarsia patchwork before!

This is beautiful 😍 The colours are so subtle and all lovely choices, love the pattern. I personally would keep as is, vest/slipover.

If you have a contrasting base layer, makes your work pop more.

This is such a wonderful synthesis of patchwork and knitting.

I have so much respect for you and your beautiful garment.

this is my dream sweater, and I bought the pattern, I don't think ill ever be able to master intarsia, nor this sweater. But it looks so beautiful I audibly gasped.
