Stripes and Square Sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up in 2 strands of Istex Plötulopi. The stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armhole and worked top down.
The charts for the stripes and squares are very easy to follow. The decoration on sleeves are made by picking up stitches with a crochet hook.
When I made this sweater, my thought was just to knit it in only one size that should be suitable in different ways for different sizes. I wanted it to be an oversized sweater for a small size and for L - XXL with a more fitted ease. The sweater is the third pattern in a small collection. The two earlier patterns are for socks and half mittens. You find them here on Ravelry too as Randiga Rutan Socks and Randiga Rutan Half Mittens.
