Description

Scribble Sweater
Construction
This yoke sweater is knitted in the round, top down and with positive ease. The charts, all multiples of 5 or 10 sts are knitted throughout the garment. Depending upon size, charts are repeated to reach the length you desire.

About the chart design
Back in the fifties the Dutch Cobra artist Karel Appel was inspired by the language of Children’s drawings. He created famous paintings with it. In his turn he inspired me to collect a few scribbles out of my - now teenaged - kid’s sketchbooks. Do you recall those rake hands and little houses? I turned them into knitting charts and repeated them throughout to make this seamless topdown sweater

Skill
Intermediate: this pattern involves knitting in the round, making nupps, stranded colourwork and optional short row techniques. Explanation of techniques is included.
