Orphism Pullover Knitting Pattern Download

Description

The repeated lines and graded shadows in this modern drop-shoulder pullover take their inspiration from twentieth-century French painter Sonia Delaunay. Combining geometric forms with pure color, she and her husband worked in a style that they called the Orphism movement. Her groundbreaking textile designs have impacted art and fashion for more than a century.
