The colour-block design of this hooded sweater is an example of garments I knitted for my own boys. I created blocks of colour and random stripes to use up the leftovers from solid colour sweaters. Here, the paintings of Piet Mondrian inspired me to use a dark neutral colour to separate colours that clashed.
