The Paul Klee Sweater by Midori Hirose is a stunning tribute to the iconic artist’s playful use of colour, transformed into a wearable masterpiece. This modern twist on a classic Fair Isle sweater invites knitters to explore colour theory through square motifs, creating a vibrant patchwork effect reminiscent of Klee’s paintings. Designed for light and lofty woollen-spun fingering-weight yarn at a relaxed gauge, the sweater is both airy and versatile, making it a perfect layering piece across seasons.

Size and age inclusivity are at the heart of this design, with a range spanning from children’s size 3 to adult 6XL. This ensures that every maker—whether knitting for themselves or a loved one—can enjoy the process of bringing this artistic vision to life.

Waxwing Yarn Company is offering exclusive kits featuring the 20 Colour Discovery Set, an ideal palette for achieving a rainbow effect or exploring the full spectrum of harmonious hues. The yarn’s properties closely match what the designer used, making it an excellent substitute while allowing knitters to craft more and spend less.

Stay organized while you knit! Every Birkin sweater kit comes with a free Waxwing Yarn organic cotton project bag.

The main colour used in the kit is bison

Note: Our kit for size Kids 1 (3-5 years) includes 380 yards of yarn, just 3 yards short of the designer’s listed requirement of 383 yards. This intentional choice helps reduce the cost of the kit while ensuring you still have all the colours needed. We recommend swatching with Scarabée as the main colour to conserve Bison for the sweater itself. If you prefer a larger buffer of yarn, consider purchasing the Kids 2 kit instead.
