When designing this pattern, I tried to hold onto a single idea… but my mind kept wandering. Does this happen to you? You sit down to focus, to be present, only to find yourself running on autopilot, lost in the rhythm of repetition. 
This is the pattern for those moments—when focus slips through your fingers, when time feels like a soft blur. Maybe, when you look back, you’ll remember the hours spent knitting this sweater the way I do: like a sepia-toned, silent film, flickering with quiet movement, marking the passage of time.
 
Sepia Stripes is worked from the top down, seamlessly. The yoke and sleeves are carefully shaped with sets of increases for a timeless, saddle shoulder look.
