The Mondrian Sweater

Description

As a little love letter to Mondrian’s Composition series, this sweater is playful, graphic, and just a bit rebellious. It’s a wide, cropped knit with bold stripes and colour blocks that shift halfway across the fabric, as if the sweater decided to redraw its own composition mid-brushstroke. Worked with chunky yarn and larger needles, this is a satisfyingly quick project that flies off the needles and delivers instant impact. The construction is straightforward and intuitive, making it an approachable intermediate-level knit—and an excellent first step into intarsia for adventurous beginners who want to try colourwork without getting overwhelmed. A full video tutorial is included, so you can knit along with me from cast-on to finishing. Every technique used in the pattern is demonstrated step by step, making the process clear, supportive, and stress-free. The front and back panels are knitted separately in stockinette, joined together, and the sleeves are worked in the round. Whether you’re drawn to the primary colours, the quirky layout, or the “walking art piece” energy, this sweater is meant to be fun: fun to knit, fun to wear, and fun to style. Please check the second image for specifications on measurements and materials This product is a PDF knitting pattern — not a finished garment. You’ll receive a downloadable file with instructions to knit the item yourself. Nothing will be mailed to you.
