'SCRIBBLE' SWEATER
Hand-knitted cotton
British: Artwork (Jane Foster and Patrick Gottelier), 1979

This simple T-shaped sweater has full length raglan sleeves and a round neck. The colourful abstract design is intarsia-knitted in stocking stitch. The lower edge and sleeves begin with a band of moss stitch while the neck is ribbed.

This innovative design, one of Artwork's early successes, has been widely imitated.

The sweater was knitted for Artwork by Mrs Trice.
