Dries Squares

**Yardage Requirements for Boxy Sweater**: Enjoy knitting this stunning boxy sweater with yardage of 500 (550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800) yards in each color. This pattern features a vibrant palette, including Rowan Kid Classic in Lavender Ice and Bittersweet, with skein requirements of 4 (4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6) for each color, held together with Rowan Kidsilk Haze in Pearl and Majestic, requiring 3 (3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4) skeins respectively.

This beautiful boxy sweater is inspired by a striking runway sample designed by Dries Van Noten. The pattern includes instructions for creating unique striped squares that can be arranged in any way according to the knitter's design preferences. Each square is skillfully seamed together to complete the final garment, giving you creative flexibility. The stripes are meticulously charted and graded to maintain a consistent stripe effect across all seven sizes, ensuring a professional finish to your sweater.

In total, the sweater requires 26 squares, while a separate stunning cowl neck piece will need an additional three squares to complete your look. This pattern offers not just a garment but a canvas for your creative expression through knitting.

While this written and charted pattern embodies my own work and solutions to design challenges encountered while crafting this garment, it is important to acknowledge that the original concept and stripe pattern were not my own creations. Recognizing this, I will be donating all proceeds from the sale of this pattern to World Central Kitchen, an organization dedicated to providing meals in the wake of disasters.
