Roz
A funnel neck pullover with a top-down construction. The textured fabric seems complicated to knit, but it is knit in a simple rib stitch pattern, with a few lines of stripes to create a gradient look.
Using a hand-dyed yarn as CC creates an effective color transition. The well-fitted silhouette flatters feminine curves.
