Corrado Don’t Preach
A Raglan-ish Slip-Stitch Color work Sweater design by Corrado Lark
The Needs:

The Backstory:
Papa don’t preach, but I guess I’m papa? I don’t know, I went through a big Madonna phase for a second there, obsessing over our similar Italian background, working on my own pop music (which is coming along and kinda cool). And I was inspired by her use of crosses, and knit them subtly into this sweater all over, connected and not connected.
In the end, the yarn is the star of the show, using 4 colors of lovely Plied Yarn Co to create a marled looking fabric that’s kinda like premarled in the yarn... yeah, long story short it’s a super fun knit and wild product. I love wearing this one!
