The pattern begins with the folded rib hemmed collar and continues seamlessly with garter stitch short rows to raise the back of the neck. The yoke, body, and sleeves are knit in garter stitch with stockinette slip stitches. The stitches are very easy to knit, allowing you to focus on the marled color changes. Hold two strands of fingering weight yarn throughout the fabric and change one strand at a time for a smooth blended effect. Twisted ribbing frames the painterly fabric for a crisp clean finish.
