The Radiant Panels Pullover combines relaxed comfort with a modern touch of color. This drop-shoulder sweater features bold blocks of radiant colors worked using the intarsia technique on the body, adding visual interest to an otherwise minimalist silhouette. With a straightforward construction, the body is worked flat in stockinette stitch, creating both the front and back panels separately before sewing them together. If you’re new to intarsia, fear not—we provide step-by-step tutorials to guide you through the process. The sweater has classic 2x2 ribbing at the hem, cuffs, and neckline for a neat finished look. Knit in The Fibre Co.’s &Make DK, a blend of Peruvian Highland wool, alpaca, and linen, this pullover offers a perfect balance of warmth and breathability. The soft, lightweight fabric makes it an ideal layering piece for year-round wear, while the natural fibers provide a cozy drape that feels wonderful against the skin. Add some color to your wardrobe with this playful and timeless design.

Construction notes: The Radiant Panels Pullover showcases bold Intarsia color blocking and is knit flat in two separate pieces. It begins with a two-color ribbed hem and transitions into stockinette stitch. The back is worked first, with stitches bound off to shape the shoulders and neck, followed by the front. After both body pieces are complete, the side and shoulder seams are sewn together. Sleeves are picked up around the armholes and worked top-down in the round, featuring three striking color blocks and finishing with contrasting ribbed cuffs. The ribbed neckband is picked up last, tying the design together with a polished, cohesive look.
