This is the first pattern from the Carol Feller Gradient Series, further patterns and a book will be released over the coming months. Join me on my gradient adventure!

Create your own subtle or dramatic colour gradients with this sweater. This sweater uses a simple stranded colourwork pattern for the body that allows you to blend seamlessly from one colour to the next. Keep it subtle as in the sample or go for some crazy colour changes for your child!
Knit in the round from the bottom up, with set-in sleeves worked with short rows from the top down.
