Versaciknits’ Carnaby Street has
a relaxed, retro feel. It’s made interesting—both to look at and to knit—by the
reverse colorwork and an illusion of shaping. Loose-fitting, it’s comfortable
to wear with ample positive ease at the bust, and it pairs equally well with
jeans or a skirt. Opposing colored stripes form a v-shaped panel and vents
in the front of the sweater add an interesting visual element to a relatively
straightforward pullover. It’s knit in separate pieces, and the intarsia method
is used when changing colors for the front striping. The shoulders are joined,
the sleeves set in, and the neckband is finished. Carnaby Street can be knit
in different palates to accommodate any age. Choose fun, bright colors for your
teen or subdued colors for your mother. There are even Carnaby Baby and Carnaby Kid versions
for your little relics of the 60s!
