Indulge in the satisfaction of watching embossed shapes unfold with this heavily textured pullover. Foldlines melds multiple genres of hand making, opening the eyes to the creative ways in which fabric can be manipulated for stunning visual and tactile effect. Constructed to be uncomplicated in shape for relaxed wearing and to highlight the allover geometric motif reminiscent of a four-pointed origami star, Foldlines is sure to integrate easily into your trousseau.

This garment in Arbor is worked flat, in pieces, from the bottom up, then seamed at the shoulders. The sleeves are then picked up from the armholes and worked flat to the cuff; the sleeves and sides are then seamed. The collar is picked up and worked circularly after garment assembly. The allover geometric motif is worked from charts only.
