Get cozy with Quadruple, a bottom-up pullover sweater that is drenched in color. Multiple plies of yarn create a dazzling fade effect on the yoke of this sweater. That means you can use your two favorite colors to fashion a one-of-a-kind ombre. This incredibly fun and lightning-quick pullover even makes a great first sweater project.

Construction Details
The Quadruple sweater is worked from the bottom towards the top using four strands of laceweight kid mohair held together. The only seams on this sweater are for the sleeves. The body is worked in the round and the sleeves are knit flat. The body and sleeves are attached, and the yoke is worked in the round with decreases. At the top of the yoke, short rows give the neckline shape before the collar is worked. The collar is worked as a folded neckline.
