Pendennis Club
I love how the delicate geometry of an accent stripe plays off the elegant leaves of the larger motif across the body of the sweater here. The motifs are placed intentionally so the color shift lines up perfectly from body to sleeve. I’ve designed my sweater with a hip-length and a boxy fit, and I’ve added a split hem and visible raglan seams.
Pendennis Club is knit from the bottom up. The hem is worked in two pieces, then joined and body is worked seamlessly in the round to underarm. Sleeves are also worked in the round, separately and joined to body at underarm.
