This STRIPES sweater was born out of my idea to use a basic raglan construction for a less basic looking sweater. With its stand-out stripes and stunning off-the-shoulder look, the Stripes Sweater is a showstopper!
The Stripes Sweater is knitted up the same as any other raglan (check out my Cotton Candy Sweater for a traditional raglan) but with a wider neckline, a fun stripe pattern, and sleeves that are wide but still practical.
I also love how this sweater invites you to experiment with colors and striping effects. I made mine in a brick red color with neon green stripes and I truly love the resulting unique color combination.
I knit my sweater up with a thicker cotton yarn. This gave my sweater a cooler feeling that is perfect for those colder summer nights and fall mornings.
