Slip Stitch Squares Shell

I love finding interesting, easy ways of using color in a piece. The color pattern looks complicated, but you only work with one color at a time. It is really simple to knit, yet it creates a beautiful, soft look. Work it up as shown here or experiment with your own colors. Try reversing the colors for a different look, as I did in the coordinating cardigan (Pattern 112). This pullover is worked from the bottom up in pieces, then sewn together.

The stitch pattern is presented in both written and charted formats.
