Product Details

The starting point for this pattern was a picture of a wool panel, made for the Tutankhamun exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1978. It had vibrant colors and depicted wings or feathers. I instantly loved it and wanted to use the colors and forms in a sweater for my mother, which resulted in this top-down design.

The pattern uses a thicker yarn for the yoke and lighter yarn for the colorwork.

Yarn used: Collar and bust: Malabrigo Rios Belt: Malabrigo Sock, two strands held together

Other material: 4 mm circular needles; 40cm, 60cm and 80 cm for a comfortable increase. 3.5 mm 80 cm circular needle for waist ribbing. Markers and scrap yarn.
