You can customize your color transitions based on your yarn choices. Work with color A on its own for the collar, short rows and yoke. Near the end of the yoke, start fading colors A & B together by working 2-round stripes with each color. Work with color B on its own. Stripe colors B & C together for 2 rounds each. Work with color C on its own when you reach the middle of the body. Stripe colors C & D together for 2 rounds each after you pass the middle of the body. Finish the body and bottom ribbing with color D on its own. As you fade colors for the body, save some yarn for the sleeves so you can try to match your color transitions between the body and sleeves. Fade the sleeves to match the body. **Westknits Workshops** Venture into the world of Westknits with my series of online workshops.

You should slip 76 sts onto right needle after you finish closing the short row gaps. This correction is reflected in the new PDF pierre_pullover_2.pdf 22-09-22: I corrected the cast on stitch counts for Sizes 6, 7, 8, & 9 along with correcting the stitch counts for those sizes everywhere else on page 4 of the pattern.
