Textured Tiles Sweater KAL: Summer 2023
The Textured Tiles Sweater is a stunning boxy shaped sweater, featuring knitted squares with diagonal traveling cables and striking embroidered embellishments. The modular nature of the design makes this an interesting and addictive knit, always encouraging you to knit just one more square! An engaging and enjoyable project for knitters of all levels, this is a wonderful summer project that will leave you with a beautiful new sweater for fall!
The Textured Tiles Sweater is knit in Rowan's Felted Tweed and designer Georgia Farrell has created two different looks to choose from. One is knitted using two shades of Felted Tweed, while the second option features six shades. Georgia has recommended some colorways, but feel free to swap colors in and out and create your own color story.
