This slightly boxy drop-shoulder pullover uses a modular construction to highlight organically occurring color shifts from the random spinning of space-dyed roving.

The sweater is worked flat and in front, back, and sleeve pieces. The front and back are worked modularly, then joined at the shoulder using a three-needle bind off. Hem and neck stitches are picked up after seaming and worked in the round. Sections are named according to their position on the sweater as it will be worn. In other words, a so-called Right section may appear on either the right or left of the working fabric, depending on if a right-side or wrong-side row is being worked, so sections will be referred to by their “as-if-being-worn” position.
