Shizen (Tee Pullover) by Eri Shimizu - Yarn Kit - Nomad Noos Peace and Love Silk (Eri Silk)

The Japanese definition of nature or naturalness (shizen) distinguishes itself from the western definition as it includes human intervention. While we are most prone to see nature as something untouched and wild, the Japanese describe nature as being intertwined with humans.

Shizen Pullover or Sleeveless version.

The pullover starts from the middle of the back with a provisional cast-on and is worked up toward the shoulders. The back is split into two and the right and left backs are worked at the same time but separately with different balls of yarn to form a deep V.
