The Binary Code, is inspired by my wish to mix different qualities of yarn together, for a textured, fashionable appeal. Mohair presents a fluffy bedding, where elegant, subtle, pearls of merino singles are embedded with a slip stitch. “Pearls” are moved for one stitch in each row, not to overlap each other, by slipping the yarn in 1-2 manner. Thus, the Binary Code. Oversized yoke is then cinched in the body for a flattering fit. The sleeves have biased decreases forming a twist down the elbow line.
