Description

From the book: "Here is a pattern that is really stunning in its individuality and its clean, sharp lines. It is wonderful for coats, suits, and medium-weight sweaters; for best results it should be worked in medium or heavy yarn, not fine yarn. Knitting worsted is ideal."

Notes

João is a designer by title by a knitter to the core - once he realized he could pick up a ball of yarn and turn it into a garment, he never turned back. João is originally from Portugal but now lives in London. He knit this swatch while sitting in his new London studio.
