Note: The stripes may not line up perfectly at the shoulders depending on which size you choose to knit. An easy way to address this and still have it look tidy is to stop working the twisted stitch striping pattern as you approach the top of the shoulder - I recommend working in stockinette only for the last 3/4” - 1” on both the front and back. Then when you join at the shoulders it will still look smart at the front and back. Happy knitting!
