Knit it solid for a quick and simple knit. This is a great project for those new to cables. Or knit it in intarsia and feel the burn- that shizz knit is challenging but looks so beautiful.

Construction
Construction
The sweater is worked from the bottom up in panels to allow for intarsia colorwork. Once the front and back body are complete and the shoulder seams created, the sleeves are knit on. The side seam and under arm seam are then created all in one go. The mock neck is also knit on. All DEGEN sweaters are designed to allow for the maker to adapt for their body - so feel free to add length to the sleeve // body or shorten for a more cropped look. We recommend you grab a sweater you love, pick the closest width size and mimic those length measurements.
