## PATCHWORK SWEATER KNITTING PATTERN | OVERSIZED COLOR BLOCK PULLOVER

Create a beautiful handmade sweater with a relaxed silhouette, soft color transitions, and timeless patchwork styling.

This women's knitting pattern features an oversized, longline pullover made from carefully arranged color blocks in dusty rose, warm cream, soft camel, and muted sage green. The contrasting panels create a modern patchwork effect, while delicate garter stitch details and fine decorative seams add a subtle handcrafted finish.

Designed with comfortable dropped shoulders, gently shaped sleeves, a soft scoop neckline, and neat ribbed edges, this sweater combines everyday comfort with contemporary knitwear design.

The loose, flowing fit makes it an ideal layering piece for autumn, winter, and cooler spring days. Style it with jeans, relaxed trousers, or your favorite casual pieces for an effortlessly cozy look.

Whether you enjoy experimenting with beautiful yarn colors or creating unique pieces for your handmade wardrobe, this project offers a satisfying combination of simple knitted textures and thoughtful garment construction.
