Domino
Domino is a fun stranded pullover to showcase Fleece & Harmony's new gradient sets. The sweater is started at the centre with a provisional cast-on and worked sideways, centre-out to cuffs, with a steek at the neck and a steek at the hem. The sides are closed with a 3-needle bind-off and then the stranded patterning continues into the sleeve. What colours would you choose in your cascade of stranded bands?
