Oblique Sweater - Tunisian

The Oblique Sweater is a top-down, four-color Tunisian crochet sweater that celebrates geometry, texture, and color. Inspired by the clean angles of an oblique rectangular prism, this DK-weight design features bold diagonal color blocks that flow seamlessly across the body and sleeves.

The diagonal line forms crisp, perfect transitions between each color section, creating a modern, architectural look with cozy thickness and beautiful drape. Whether you do with all tonals or one or more variegated colorways, the Oblique Sweater offers endless opportunities to play with 4 to 6 colorways.

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

SIZE INCLUSIVE DETAILS: 

Top Down - Customizable total sweater length 

Short Rows - All sizes include short rows including around the neckline to shape the neckline and lengthen the back to prevent the front and back from riding up 

Shoulder Shaping - Sizes 6 - 9 include shoulder shaping so that the drop shoulder and the diagonal line do not hit at the elbow.
