Color Block Pullover

This is a great sweater to knit up if you’re interested in learning intarsia, yet it’s an equally satisfying project for the veteran intarsia knitter. The two-color collar, cuffs and hem (worked in Fair Isle knitting) add a lovely accent, and the different color sleeves balance the sweater beautifully.

This pullover, designed by Jan Chappelle and Ingrid Pietras, is worked from the bottom up in pieces, then sewn together.
