Oblique Sweater

The Oblique Sweater is a top down knit design that brings together geometry, texture, and color in a bold yet wearable way. Inspired by the crisp angles of an oblique rectangular prism, this DK weight sweater features striking diagonal color blocks that travel across the body and sleeves before being seamed for a polished finish.

The angled construction creates smooth, blended transitions between each shade, resulting in a fabric that feels lighter and thinner than the Tunisian version while preserving the same contemporary, architectural aesthetic. Whether you choose tonal hues for subtle depth or incorporate variegated yarns for added movement, the Oblique Sweater invites you to explore four to six coordinating colors and make the geometric design distinctly your own.

Note: The diagonal lines continue on the back of the sweater. I need to get an updated photo to show the back.
