Intarsia is back! This is not the intarsia of the 80's, this is contemporary and absolutely beautiful.
Erika shows off her mastery of colour in this design - it uses seven. It's beautiful and a little bit surprising, guaranteed to make heads turn - that's why it's for Date Night.
I know intarsia may sound scary and we have become very accustomed to knitting sweaters in one piece but this feels and fits so well because it's not. This is my first cast-on from the collection and I am beyond excited about it!
Date Night is part of the design collaboration between A Yarn Story and Erika Knight using our in-house yarn, Origin. You can find the rest of the collection here.
Yarn bundles in a variety of colourways is available here.
Please note: This pattern comes in the form of a digital download.
