I WANNA BE YOUR STRIPED SWEATER is a hip-length style knit with a turtleneck and long narrowing sleeves. This sweater is worked top-down in Stockinette stitch pattern in raglan using increases M1L and M1R. The turtleneck, cuffs, and hem are worked in Rib stitch pattern. The sweater body and sleeves are worked narrowing, but anyway they can be easily made longer and of course, more yarns should be estimated. I WANNA BE YOUR STRIPED SWEATER is a timeless knit which looks very feminine, elegant, and has free movement.
