Stripe Dream Sweater

“I secretly want to be a zebra. That is why I always wear stripes.” – Louis Tomlinson, singer/songwriter.

Introducing our unisex, size-inclusive stripe sweater pattern, perfect for knitters of all skill levels! This versatile design features two distinct versions, allowing you to customize your look while embracing your unique style. Version 1 showcases a long-sleeved sweater with a full-length body, while Version 2 offers a trendy short-sleeved cropped option. Whether you prefer a classic fit or a more modern silhouette, this pattern can be tailored to suit your personal aesthetic.

Crafted seamlessly in the round from the top down, this sweater pattern is not only enjoyable to knit but also results in a beautifully finished piece without any side seams. You'll begin by casting on at the neckline, shaping the yoke through raglan increases that lead to the underarm. After placing the sleeve stitches on hold using waste yarn, you will complete the body of the sweater before returning to finish the sleeves last. This construction method ensures a comfortable fit and a polished look.

When choosing your size, consider that this sweater is designed with 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) of positive ease for an optimal fit. To achieve this stylish look, we recommend selecting a size that is 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) larger than your bust circumference. This will enhance both comfort and movement, making your knitwear not only chic but also practical.

For your convenience, note that this pattern is provided as a checklist format. Feel free to skip printing the entire pattern if you prefer to simply use the checkboxes for tracking your progress.
