THIS PATTERN IN NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM SHIBUI KNITS

Lexi uses 3 colors of Shibui Sock. Yardage required for all sizes is 2 skeins of the main color, and 1 skein each of the two contrast colors.

This pattern has lots of fun little details making it both a cute finished garment, and fun to create.
The stripe pattern is a textured stripe, so the contrast color actually pops out from the main color. The mitered shoulders and rolled stockinette edges, help to create interesting details without being too tricky to knit.
My favorite detail is the pockets; worked directly into the fronts of the sweater, so the stripes line up perfectly!
