5022 Jacket (age 10 up)
WEB EXCLUSIVE

Intarsia fans are a special class of knitter. They are detail-oriented and willing to put in the time to achieve truly special effects. This is a winning pattern for them in many ways. First, it offers breathtaking opportunities to play with colour-- but in an easy geometric way. Second, the intarsia blocks themselves have some interest with a bit of fair isle, moss stitch, swiss darning (diagrams included), and even some extra winding and then dropping the extra winds... you'll see. To make it easier, this is a drop shoulder with flat sleeve caps. This is cardigan/jacket as Rorschach test.
