Graffiti Sweater
Monochrome knitting has been a prominent trend on the catwalk for several seasons, and this stunning graffiti-art inspired sweater serves as a fantastic example of how well this style translates into knitted fashion pieces.
Design Elements: This contemporary sweater features bottom-up knitting, with contiguous sleeves and shoulders that seamlessly integrate into the overall design. The intricate pattern combines a mixture of Fair Isle and easy intarsia techniques, making it suitable for knitters at various skill levels who are looking to explore different knitting methods and styles.
Yarn Information: For this project, we recommend using Rooster Baby Rooster Superwash 100% Merino yarn, providing exceptional softness and durability. You will need approximately 125m per 50g skein. Make sure to gather the following quantities: 7[8:9:9] x 50g balls in Cornish (Color A), 2[3:3:3] x 50g balls in Silver (Color B), and 2[3:3:4] x 50g balls in Liquorice (Color C). Note: The yarn amounts provided are based on average requirements and may vary slightly based on your individual knitting style.
