State of Flux

€12.50

State of Flux is a top-down compound raglan cowl neck pullover that plays with duality at every level. Designed to be fully reversible, the body of the sweater is knit in stockinette holding two yarns together. Turn it inside out and the reverse stockinette brings out an entirely new dimension. A subtle contrast between two shades of yarn enhances the reversible design.

At the neck, hem, and sleeve cuffs, two-color brioche ribbing provides a counterpoint to the minimalist body. The generous cowl neck is worked seamlessly and folds elegantly regardless of which way you wear the sweater.

The pattern includes optional bust and waist shaping to customize the garment fit to your body shape. For a more relaxed silhouette the body can also be knit straight, omitting all shaping.

State of Flux comes in 10 sizes from XS to 6X. The pattern provides both charted and written instructions for the brioche pattern. Measurements are given in both metric and US units.
