Alpaca Yarns 1419 Whisper Striped Sweater
Stripes Sweater – Alpaca Yarns Knitting Pattern
A little retro charm for your everyday wardrobe! This relaxed striped sweater pairs a classic crew neckline with long sleeves and ribbed trims for an easy-to-wear knit. Broad bands of colour bring plenty of personality—choose the cream, olive and orange combination pictured, or make it your own with your favourite shades.
Knitted in Alpaca Yarns Whisper DK, the sweater is worked flat in pieces and seamed, with the neckband picked up and knitted in the round. A lovely project for intermediate knitters who enjoy playing with colour.
