Submitted by admin on Tue, 09/26/2023 - 14:56
This Kaffe Fassett sweater has been knit in different shades of wool in a variation of the pattern known as "Kites" or Flags. From the evenness of the stitches and the seams, it appears to be machine-knit. The sweater measures 43" around or 21.5" from underarm to underarm when lying flat.
The length from underarm to hem is 17" , and the length from the top of the collar to the hem is 27". The sleeves' measurement from the underarm seam to the cuff is 22. The crewneck, hem, and cuffs are ribbed and in solid navy. There is a motif just above the hem that uses the sweater's colors.
See the pictures for details. The close-up picture captures the colors well. Fassett is a designer known for his innovative use of color and pattern. His work has been exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and most recently, he has been designed for Coach and The Peruvian Connection.
This sweater pattern originally appeared in "Glorious Knits, " and subsequent variations of the theme have been featured in other places. The sweater is from a non-smoking home. Please feel free to ask any questions or for more pictures.
