Stripes is a top down Raglan pullover, it is graded to fit from 30” to 63” and is written to include approximately 8” of positive ease with a finished chest size of 38” to 71”

This pattern comes in 10 Sizes.
Use the sizing as a guide, if you want more or less ease, choose a different size. If you have a favourite sweater, measure that and pick a similar size.

This jumper is knit using DK weight yarn. Gauge is important so you get the 8” positive ease fit I designed it to have, totally worth it!!!

Show your personality using colours you’ll love wearing together and don’t be afraid to play with strip thickness or amount of
colours. The sample version I knit for my partner Abi is knit with two shades of grey but my version uses more than two colours. This is an excellent scrap-busting project so have fun.
