How do you top a Cheviot yarn worked in a single pretty color? You knit two colors together for a do-it-yourself marled yarn. This swingy pullover knits up super quick on a large needle with two colors held together. It’s worked from the top down, of course, so once the yoke is complete, it’s clear sailing because there’s no shaping at all on body or sleeves.—just the joy of plain knitting.
