Stripe Sweater
Introducing the perfect addition to your wardrobe: this stylish three-colour striped sweater! This easy-to-wear sweater is knitted in two separate pieces—the back and front—starting with a K2, P2 ribbed band that adds a classic touch. The design includes gentle increases for short sleeves, ensuring comfort and a perfect fit.
Our sweater features short rows that expertly shape the upper edge of the sleeves and shoulders, creating a sophisticated silhouette. The back and front pieces are seamlessly joined using a three-needle cast-off technique for a professional finish. The back has a shallow neck shaping for a subtle elegance, while the front boasts a standard crew neck shape that flatters every neckline.
To add to its charm, the armhole bands and neckband stitches are picked up and worked in the round in rib, enhancing the overall design and ensuring durability. The only seaming required is for the side seams, making this pattern an excellent choice for both beginner and intermediate knitters.
The pictured sample was meticulously crafted using Indiecita DK, made from 100% baby alpaca for a soft, luxurious feel. Each 50g ball offers 112m/123yds of high-quality yarn that knits up beautifully.
For your color choices, the yarn requirements are as follows:
- 1st Colour (C1): 4 (4, 4, 5, 5), [6, 6, 7, 7] balls
