Project Level: Intermediate

Elements of color and texture work together to create the effect of falling rain in this pullover knit from sleeve to sleeve. By working sideways, the variegated yarn creates stripes that appear horizontal on the sleeves and vertical on the body. An accent color creates dripping ridges at the hem of the body which add a slight flare.
