shop sample: Watermark pullover lacy handknit top

The Watermark Pullover by Marie Greene is one of two patterns for this year's Olive Knits #4dayKAL (4-Day Knitalong). The 10th and final 4-Day KAL begins on July 1st! This year there are two options - a pullover, as shown here, or the Watermark Cardigan. Sarah has already knit BOTH of these beautiful sweaters in preparation for the KAL; the cardigan was featured on a previous blog post.

The 4-Day Knitalong has been a labor of love for Marie all these years and it's wrapping up this year. "What began with Stillwater in 2016 will be ending with Watermark -- a nod to the beginning, and a reminder that creative work is how many of us leave our mark while we’re here." This year’s pattern features top-down, raglan construction with all-over lace details. Personalize your handknit pullover or cardigan with your choice of three sleeve length options (short, half, long). You can even spice it up with contrast trim, if you like! The result will be a classic sweater that you’ll wear for years to come.

We have all the details on this year's KAL on our website here, including pattern information and our suggested yarns. And if you'd like to join Sarah and KAH knitting Watermark, sign up for our virtual KAL Zoom meetups on that page.

Sarah knit her Watermark Pullover sample in a new yarn for us, Lamana Perla (60% pima cotton, 25% baby alpaca, 15% silk; 125 yds/50 g). This beautiful yarn is lightweight with a lustrous sheen and lovely drape. See this yarn and several other wonderful options on our KAL page. What color will you choose?
