Very excited to share the knit-a-long for Yorkshire Yarn Fest for the beautiful sweater, Paul Klee by Midori Hirose.

A sweater inspired by Paul Klee’s paintings. You will play with colors and develop their combinations with square motifs. You can mix and match many colors, or use just a few, for example 4 to 6 colors. For the sample sweater’s combo, I picked up the colors you can find in the painter’s palette.

The sweater is light thanks to a gauge much looser than that of traditional Fair Isle sweaters. If you are used to stranded knitting, this loose gauge may surprise you. If you have trouble achieving the pattern gauge, you can work with a thicker yarn or add a lace weight yarn. Using two yarns with different colors together will add depth to the shades and produce a lovely combination. I hope you enjoy your color work!
