Momentum is a gorgeous statement sweater that can be both dressed down (picture it with high-waisted jeans!) or up (over a pair of flowy Marlene pants perhaps?). The stockinette body is framed by rectangular lines which are echoed in the striped ruffles that accentuate the shoulders.
Momentum is worked flat and in the round from the top down. After starting the body, you work the ruffles before starting the simple colorwork pattern for the rectangular stripes. The sleeves are picked up and knit in the round.

Hands-down one of the best plant yarns on the market! Antigone is a sport-weight 100% linen yarn with a smooth and silky finish, perfect for summer tops, shirts and cardigans for layering. Linen likes to be washed (preferrably in the washing machine!) and worn and so your FOs will just get softer and softer over time.
