Therefore I chance to think that all Nature and the graceful sky are symbolised in the art of geometry.
- Johannes Kepler

This is a pattern for a top down knit, with a circular yoke and 3/4 length sleeves, using the stranded colourwork technique. This jumper has a generous fit and may be worn with 4 - 12 in/10 - 30.5 cm positive ease.

Stitches are cast on for the neck, which is shaped using the German Short Row technique. The yoke is worked, beginning at centre back, worked to desired length and then stitches are separated for the sleeves and body. Each element is worked, continuing the stripe motif, until desired length, before being bound off.
