Want to hack your Stella sweater? Here are some vintage/retro inspired ideas:

1. Use a couple light colors for and 80s inspired colorblock and leave off the sleeves, instead working ribbing around the armholes. I like having the the armhole and neckband ribbing match the bottom color.

2. For a more 70s vibe, work a few of the chest star rows in either primary colors or old school burnt orange, mustard yellow, etc. and make the sleeves short, perhaps starting at Section 3 of the sleeves.
