Albers

Inspired by the renowned weaving techniques of Anni Albers, the Albers Slipover is a stunning piece that effortlessly blends three captivating colours into a striking stripe pattern. This contemporary twist on traditional colourwork combines knits and purls, creating a delightful squishy texture that knitters will adore. Perfect for those who seek to elevate their wardrobe with unique, artistic pieces, this slipover adds a distinctive touch to any outfit, making it an essential addition for fashion-forward knitters.

Designed for seamless knitting, the Albers Slipover is worked from the bottom up, beginning with the Lower Body. You’ll enjoy working in the round until you reach the underarms, where the design cleverly splits. Next, you’ll create the Chest and Upper Back sections separately, utilizing German Short Rows to shape the shoulders with impeccable precision. Once both sections are completed, you’ll join them at the shoulder seams using the versatile 3-Needle Bind-Off technique for a polished finish. Finally, the Neckband and Armhole trims are picked up and worked in the round, adding the perfect finishing touches to this stylish garment.

This knitting pattern is ideal for intermediate knitters looking to challenge themselves while creating a beautiful piece that showcases their skills. Whether you're looking for a statement piece for yourself or a thoughtful gift for a fellow knitting enthusiast, the Albers Slipover is both unique and wearable. Embrace your creativity and bring a touch of artistry to your knitwear collection with this delightful slipover pattern.
