out of the blue
Combining several shades of blue and green takes true blue to a new level.

WIDE-COLLAR RIBBED PULLOVER
It’s hard to decide what’s more fun, making this sweater or wearing it. Three strands of yarn held together create a bulky-weight yarn, which doesn’t feel heavy when worn. I combined shades of blue and green for a subtle blend of colors, but there are infinite color combinations that would work—experiment!
