Autumn Stripes Sweater is a simple, elegant and loose flowing short sleeved sweater which can be worn during any season, at any occasion, and has 2 different design options to make this a more customisable design for knitters.

The piece is worked in the round from the top down consisting of knitting the collar, yoke, separating sleeves and body, knitting and finishing the body, then finishing the sleeves at the end.

Autumn Stripes Sweater can provide a cool, summery style with bright, warm colour schemes or a more snug and wintery vibe with more dark colour schemes so this really is perfect for all year round.

Yarn: Originally using Aldi 1st Choice DK 100g 300m Yarn for all of my colour choices, my second design I substituted for Stylecraft Special DK 100g 295m which I felt was slightly thicker and knit up extremely well. Both yarns created stunning results and therefore i will include both here in the notes for the choice of the purchaser
