Most artists want their creations to stand out. But Nina Dodd, a knitter who lives in Brighton, England, creates clothing designed to blend in perfectly. From tile-patterned walls to leafy landscapes, Dodd’s creations seamlessly match up with their surroundings—and they’re all made out of yarn.
The Knitted Camouflage project started with a bus seat. Buses aren’t known for their fashion-forward upholstery, but that didn’t stop Dodd from being inspired by one. One day, she took a closer look at the bold geometric pattern covering the seats of the bus she rides every day and decided it would make a perfect knitted sweater. “It was so obvious to me that it would look good,” she says.
