Lindsay Degen of DEGEN puts the focus on fit proportion and vibrant color combinations in this playful collection for adults. Each garment or accessory explores a different technique -- including stripes, brioche, zigzags, and more.

A few strong colors combine with supporting neutrals for Bert's high-energy look. Mismatched stripes at the raglan edges both draw attention to the shaping and give a casual vibe. The look of "random" stripes comes from starting different pieces at different points in a set sequence; the pattern includes a blank template for you to color in to try out your own ideas!
