Knit from front edge to front edge in one piece, this jacket was inspired by a large collection of 9m, 10yd sample skeins that I had amassed. I also had a sweater quantity of machine washable worsted weight in my stash and wanted to use them together. The lengthwise stripes of simple YO, K2Together lace add a bit of brightness to the black of the wool. You can use a variety of weights and textures for the stripes as the basic garter stitch of the sideways knit body hold the differences together nicely.

It is possible to up or down size this cardigan but you will need to calculate the difference in size in the front and back pieces or the sleeves will need to be adjusted as well.
