Bankfield
by Erika Knight
This thoughtful sweater by Erika Knight uses the intarsia technique to create a patchwork detail throughout the body, sleeves and trim. Lines of running stitch then have been used to embellish the patches, giving a further nod to the handmade. Knitted using six shades of Felted Tweed, this interesting knit reminds us of the beauty of hand-crafted garments.

The magical combination of 50% lightly-felted wool, 25% viscose and 25% alpaca makes it supremely blockable and a gorgeous option for lacework as a result.
