Description
Indicum (Latin for indigo) is a beautifully simple pullover with a
minimalist embellishment of corrugated ribbing, a simple two-color
technique. This light sweater is made from two fingering weight yarns —
choose one for the body, then use leftovers of your favorite sock yarn
to add at the collar and hems, either a similar shade for a subtle
accent, or a variegated yarn for a unique look. Indicum is simply knit
from the top down, all in one piece, with very little finishing. The
scoop neck is formed with short rows; the sleeves are knit down from the
underarms and end in very slight puffs. This lovely piece is perfect
for transitional weather, layering, and playing with color.
