Sejima by Lana Jois

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.  

The LINES collection is full of textures that draw the eye in, up, around, through -- like the best architectural spaces, these sweaters give us much to contemplate, while still inviting us to live in them comfortably. In that spirit, we’ve named them each after a contemporary woman architect: Zaha Hadid, Selasi Setufe, Kazuyo Sejima, and Emma Miloyo.

The simple back-to-back cables of the Sejima sweater suggest a procession of fluted columns. But they also have an embellishment: an eyelet incorporated into the cable twist makes for an unexpected “perforated” detail.

Notes

The lower body is worked in the round in one piece to the underarms, then divides for working the upper front and back separately. The shoulders are shaped using German short rows and joined using the Three Needle Bind-off. Stitches for each sleeve are picked up around the armhole opening and worked in the round down to the cuff.

Please note that the cable stitch is written, not charted.
