The Modernist geometric stripe Sweater

Embrace your creativity and express your style with this fun and vibrant Modernist sweater knitting pattern! Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this unique design brings together a striking color palette and an engaging construction technique that will keep you hooked from start to finish.

This Modernist sweater is constructed in three main pieces. The Front and Back sections are seamlessly cast on as one and knitted in the round, beginning with a cozy 1x1 ribbing that transitions into an eye-catching colorwork section. Once the colorwork is complete, the Front and Back are separated and worked in rows to create stylish armhole openings. Neck shaping is thoughtfully worked on the front, ensuring a flattering fit. The sleeves are crafted straight in rows using smooth stocking stitch, finished with ribbed cuffs for a polished touch. Finally, the neckband is skillfully picked up on straight needles and completed in classic 1x1 ribbing.
