This easygoing sweater is knit entirely in seed stitch from the top down and features a graceful boat neckline and three-quarter-length sleeves. Five shades of purple blend perfectly for a gradient that is bold yet sophisticated. Increasing the needle size as the body is worked gives the pullover a gentle, flattering A-line shape without having to work any shaping!
