Carnaby Street, a stripey pullover inspired by the 60’s

Stripes are iconic.  In the Just for Fun! post I linked to photos of some ‘60s icons wearing stripes.

My newest sweater design, Carnaby Street, pays homage to the timeless appeal of stripes and also to the mod fashion capital of the ‘60s, which I blogged about in the Carnaby Street post.

Inspired by my trip to London in 1968, Carnaby Street has a relaxed, retro feel.  It’s made interesting – both to look at and to knit – by the reverse color-work and illusion of shaping.  Loose fitting, it’s comfortable to wear with ample positive ease at the bust, and it pairs equally well with jeans or a skirt.

While I chose eye-popping ‘60s colors for the sweater shown here, Carnaby Street can be knit in different palates to accommodate any age.  Choose fun, bright colors for your teen or subdued colors for your mother.  There is even a baby version for your little relic of the 60s!

Opposing colored stripes form a v-shaped panel and vents in the front of the sweater add an interesting visual element to a relatively straightforward pullover.  It’s knit in separate pieces, and the intarsia method is used when changing colors for the front striping.  The shoulders are joined, the sleeves set in, and the neckband is finished.

Carnaby Street is knit on US #6 needles out of sport or DK weight yarn. It was designed to show off the beautiful variation in a monochrome, hand-dyed yarn, and the sweater shown here was knit in Madelinetosh Tosh Sport shown in citrus and candlewick. Or substitute any yarn of a similar weight and gauge.
