With its motifs that swirl around the yoke, The Harvester sweater creates a sense of movement around the wearer. On one shoulder leaves are wrapping around, on the other they are flying off, like leaves whirling around in the autumn wind. While the pattern calls for only 2 colors, lots of test knitters had fun coming up with unique and inspiring color combinations, creating fades with various yarns or by using a gradient yarn. This sweater is worked from the top down, is seamless, and knits up quickly in the round with DK or worsted weight yarn.
