MDK Field Guide No. 10: Downtown

by Kay Gardiner, Ann Shayne

Fresh, easy, relaxed—welcome to the world of Isabell Kraemer. A pair of pullovers and a set of cowls that let us play with texture and color. These are sweaters to love and to wear every day. Downtown, around town, everywhere.

Petula Pullover: A band of geometric color makes this a very modern yoke. Knit from the top down, this sport-weight sweater works with pretty much any combination of two colors you can think up: dark with a light yoke, light with a dark yoke, subtle or wild as you wish. 

Bottom Line Pullover: So simple, so artful. Isabell has created a sweater in fingering weight wool, with the result being a forever sweater. The top-down construction means you’ll get to a finished sweater with minimal finishing required.

X-Factor Cowls: Juicy corrugated goodness here, in a dimensional ribbed design that you can nest one inside the other if you’re looking for extra style and coziness. The drawstring is bonus fun.
