Some people see a and say “ew!” Some people end up designing a sweater because it gave them an idea. (Note: I am one of the latter)

Exploded View is based on the principle of, what else? . Sometimes you can’tsee the forest for the trees when you’re in the middle of knitting a sweater, and I wanted to create a design that would be

• easy to knit
• a good “transitional” pattern for people coming to the world of sweater knitting from, say, scarf knitting
• a flexible template for you to make your own design decisions
• flattering and fun
• a good way to use up stash yarn

Because you’re only working on any one section at a time after you’ve knit the yoke, this sweater knits up fast and can even accommodate different stitch patterns in each panel if you like. Some design ideas are included in the pattern, so don’t feel as if you need to be a capital-D Designer in order to truly make this your own. Enjoy!

You can choose either a printed copy of the pattern, professionally printed on glossy paper or a digital download (PDF). If you would like a printed copy please let us know during checkout.
