Seamless intarsia sweaters by Larissa Kondina
02/06/2026
The last few projects I knitted were all charted and carefully documented as I worked, so they could eventually become knitting patterns.
For my next project, I want to do the opposite — knit freely, intuitively, lightly, and with a summer state of mind.
For the first time in quite a while, I'm knitting a recognizable object rather than an abstract composition. I want to borrow a method from crochet and work in different directions, adding stitches wherever the composition asks for them instead of following a fixed structure.
This little shell motif caught my imagination. Maybe it's a bit naive, maybe a bit romantic, but right now it feels like summer.
What do you think — naive or romantic? 🐚
Honeycomb texture is surprisingly easy to incorporate into intarsia 🐝🌸
The pattern is worked in stockinette stitch:
Rows 1–2 — main color
Rows 3–6 — contrast color
On Row 7, work with the main color. Every 4th stitch, drop down 4 rows through the contrast-color section, pick the stitch back up with the main color, and knit it together while catching the loose strands.
This texture can also be worked from the WS — simply drop the stitches and purl them back up.
Such a fun way to add texture and depth to colorwork!
