Simple Stripes Sweater

The Simple Stripes sweater is a yoke pattern fitting for beginners. It is worked from the top down, with several increases throughout the yoke. Once you reach the armhole, body and sleeves are split and worked separately. Whereas the body is knit with the two contrasting colours in bold stripes, you will make much smaller stripes when you work the sleeves, thus creating a little accent. The yarn used in this pattern, a very soft wool – cotton blend, will make the Simple Stripes sweater a very comfortable garment for every day wear.
