Inspiration: The beautiful, luscious green forests in the Pacific Northwest and the many hiking and skiing trails within them.

Forest Park is such a fun pullover to make and to wear! The colorwork uses only one color of yarn per row and has gorgeous texture too. This is a very comfortable sweater that can be dressed up or down. Picture it with your favorite jeans or skirt.

Try it on as you go (that’s the beauty of top-down and seamless!) and make it exactly the length you desire. You can even choose your colorwork scheme from the two options included.

The dropped shoulder shaping and textured colorwork make this a perfectly stunning and unique pullover. Choose your colors and have fun!

Shoulders are shaped with short rows and an easy braided accent and the hemline is subtly shaped for a flattering fit that’s a bit longer in the back. The crew neck is a double-collar with fold lines built in for a neat fit.

Forest Park will look great in any sport or DK weight yarn that meets gauge and has good stitch definition. Advise little overlap in yarn colors so the stitch pattern is not lost. This is an intermediate level pattern that could be accessible to an advanced beginner knitter with experience in skills used.

Colorwork is both charted and written. This pattern has been professionally tech-edited and tested.
