Description

Inspired by the beautiful trails within the luscious green forests of the Pacific Northwest, the Forest Park Pullover is a fun sweater to knit and wear. Crafted using DK-weight yarn, this top-down, seamless pullover allows you to try it on as you go and adjust the length to your perfect fit. The mosaic colorwork, which uses only one color of yarn per row, is beautifully textured and adds a unique flair to the sweater. The result is a cozy, comfortable garment that can be dressed up or down, making it versatile for any occasion.

The dropped shoulder shaping and the textured colorwork make this pullover both stunning and distinctive. Shoulders are shaped with short rows, accented by an easy braided detail, while the hemline is subtly shaped for a flattering fit that's slightly longer in the back. The crew neck features a double-collar with built-in fold lines for a neat, refined look. The cuffs and body hem are folded over to the inside and seamlessly joined to a garter row for a clean finish.

Choose yarn colors with enough contrast to let the stitch pattern shine! This intermediate-level pattern is accessible to advanced beginners looking for a challenge, and DK-weight yarn ensures that this pullover works up quickly with a soft, cozy feel.
