- This is a pdf knitting pattern.
This top-down sweater is knit with Walk Collection’s Merino DK yarn. The knit purl textures are simple and fun to knit as you fade four colors together. This pattern would look equally radiant in one solid or semi-solid colorway. Eyelet yarn overs shape the yoke as you knit simple textured stripes, seed stitch, knit/purl triangles, and twisted ribbing. Customize the length of the body and sleeves by knitting more textured stripes for a longer size or simply bind stop early for a shorter length. Collect some beautiful DK weight colors and enjoy this textured Westknits pullover!

This sweater is knit with 4 shades of yarn that fade from light to dark. You can customize your color transitions based on your yarn choices. Work with color A on its own for the collar, short rows and yoke.Near the end of the yoke, start fading colors A & B together by working 2-round stripes with each color.
Work with color B on its own.
Stripe colors B & C together for 2 rounds each.
Work with color C on its own when you reach the middle of the body.
Stripe colors C & D together for 2 rounds each after you pass the middle of the body.
Finish the body and bottom ribbing with color D on its own. As you fade colors for the body, save some yarn for the sleeves so you can try to match your color transitions between the body and sleeves. Fade the sleeves to match the body.
