This monochrome version of the Yuletide/Acacia jumper is coming along apace now.
I’m really enjoying working with a resticted palette and it’s such a contrast to the one I made for Christmas. Memories of a lecture on colour during my Masters study have been flooding back - light against dark against light against dark...
The two sides look very different and I’m going with the lighter side as the right side. I’d already decided this, but a poll on Instagram confirmed it! Thank you!
The two Acacia jumpers I’ve already made, here, had made-up-by-me squarish necklines but I think I’ll go round this time. I just need to work out the decreases.
I’m working both sleeves at the same time to avoid any differences that following the pattern whilst increasing might throw up.
The yarns are:
Stylecraft Special DK - Black, Silver and Graphite,
and Aldi Baby DK Shimmer - White, and I’m using size 4mm hook throughout.
My thanks again to Lucy at Attic24 and the unknown author of the Acacia Sweater pattern.
