From the book “Knitting out of Africa”:
“The pullover shown here mimics the African look of pieced strips of woven cloth by alternating bands of stranded two-color knitting with solid-color stripes. The sweater is worked in one piece from cuff to cuff, and except for the shaping of the tapered body sides, it is all worked in the round. Extra steek stitches are worked at the lower body and upper neck edges, then secured, cut open, and concealed with knitted facings. A zipper in the center front adds sporty versatility.”
