Art Deko Sweater
The Art Deko Sweater by Elenor Mortensen is a sophisticated top-down colorwork sweater inspired by the bold geometric style of the Art Deco movement. Featuring striking stranded motifs across the yoke, this design blends vintage architectural elegance with a timeless Scandinavian knitting aesthetic.
Worked seamlessly from the top down, the sweater begins with German short rows to shape the neckline for a comfortable fit before transitioning into the eye-catching colorwork yoke. Once the yoke is complete, the body and sleeves continue in smooth stockinette, allowing the decorative motif to remain the focal point of the design.
Designed with light fingering-weight yarn, the Art Deko Sweater creates a lightweight yet cozy fabric that is perfect for layering throughout the cooler months. Its clean lines, geometric patterning, and classic silhouette make it an excellent project for knitters who enjoy modern garments with vintage-inspired details.
