This striped cutie is the perfect project for a beginner knitter! Worked in stocking stitch, and with no arm or neck shaping, this is a sweater that anyone can make. It is also a size inclusive pattern, with a size range of XS-5XL.

The fit is cropped and relaxed, with a drop shoulder effect and cute balloon sleeves! I have given suggested measurements, but you can also easily customize the length of the sweater and the fit of the neckline! This is a perfect light sweater for spring or cool summer nights, and could easily be layered over a turtleneck to create a cozy winter sweater.

To knit this sweater, you will need to know how to work in stocking stitch, 1x1 rib stitch, and do basic increases. I have included links to youtube tutorials throughout, so you can easily learn these techniques as you go along!

Materials used: 6mm and 7mm knitting needles, 250-350 grams of worsted yarn (depending on the size you will make), and a tapestry needle for seaming. This would be a wonderful stash buster project, so I recommend using as much scrap yarn as you can!
