Varma (Three Colors)
The Varma pullover comes in two versions: a three-color version and a unicolor one. However, nothing stops you from giving the design your own twist, by adding more colors or using less of them. For example, the unicolor version could be spiced up with a contrasting color collar, or the three-color version could have only one contrasting color for the mid-panel while the rest of the pullover is in monochrome. The possibilities are endless, especially when you add the variety of sleeve length to the mixture. This is the kind of sweater you want to knit more than once! There’s a coloring template at the end of the pattern for you to try out the best color combinations.
