Ocean Whisper Top – Knitting Pattern: Instant PDF Download

Size: S {M-L/XL-2XL}, Finished Bust 37″{44″-50″-56″}

Named for the soft color shifts of ombre/multi yarn as it flows down the body, this short-sleeve pullover features a chevron/ripple stitch and a yoke with integrated sleeves. Knit up in a self-striping cotton/acrylic cake yarn, the piece grows organically from soft aqua color to seafoam to slate shades, making every repeat of the pattern feel a little different from the last. This intermediate-level knitting pattern comes with two build options: a two-piece version worked flat and seamed at the shoulders, sides and sleeves, or a one-piece version with a bodice worked in the round from the bottom up. Knitters can choose whichever construction style and short-sleeve summer top format best suits their preference.
