Deco Cardigan
​Interweave | Urban Knit Collection: 18 City-inspired Knitting Patterns for the Modern Wardrobe, 2016

---

This classically styled men's cardigan draws inspiration from a 1930s stained glass light fixture with panes stacked in a cascading brick pattern. Placed at the sides and under the arm, the intarsia adds just a touch of drama. Want a little less drama? Choose two shades of the same color for a subtler pattern.
