A fluffy vest, View, knitted with Flutter.
The main body is knitted with two strands of MC and CC, and the shoulder panels, which are knitted in intarsia, are knitted with two strands of MC.
The inspiration came from the works of James Turrell, known as a light artist. Since some of Turrell's works are at the Benesse House Museum in Naoshima, let's go to Naoshima to see them with wearing the finished View sweater .
This is a circular, bottom-up knit. The front and back panels are separated and intarsia panels are knitted. Shoulders are shaped with reverse stocking stitch and joined with a three-needle bind-off. Finally, the neck and armholes are knitted to finish.
