Sugar is knit seamlessly from bottom up. One colour at a time.

This sweater is a tribute to the funkiest of all funk songs: Chaka Khan's "Like Sugar" and a memory of my very first pop concert.

Sugar is knit seamlessly from the bottom up. The shoulders are united by a three-needle-bind-off. The stitches for the sleeves are picked up along the armhole. The sugar dot pattern is knit one color at a time. It is a simple stitch repeat that is logical and easy to memorize. The effect is a fascinating structure that is such fun to knit.
