MC Escher Tessellating Pattern Sweater

Machine knitter Donatella of inspiration & realisation turned a famous M.C. Escher woodcut called “Sky and Water I” into a tessellating knitting pattern that she used to make a fantastic sweater. Although these images would work fairly well as a fair isle pattern, Dontella chose to convert the pattern into a double bed jacquard motif to avoid floats and the results were clearly worth it.
