Life is erratic and even messy sometimes. In my day-to-day life I find it very comforting​​ to be surrounded by good vibes… that’s why I designed the Everchanging Pullover. It will embrace you with the warm, blissful feeling of those barefoot walks on the beach at sunset while mindlessly picking up sea glass and seashells.

This pullover is an easy knit but with its color gradient that looks like sea glass is really fun and addictive. The all over slip stitch pattern will in fact keep you knitting even on “sleeve island”. Easy doesn’t have to be boring!
The Everchanging Pullover has a top down drop shoulder construction with plenty of ease. The front and back are worked separately to the bottom of the armholes. Front and back are then joined and the body is worked in the round. Sleeves are also worked in the round after picking up stitches along the armhole. The neckband is worked at the end picking up stitches from the neckline, giving this area a nice structure to prevent stretching.

Techniques: knit, purl, slip stitch with yarn in front and in the back, joining a second color for slip st pattern, picking up stitches knitwise and purlwise, increase, decrease, variations on basic increases, reading a simple chart. Optional: carrying yarn vertically in the back of the work.
