Knitting A Striped Sweater: Preview for May 6, 2023
Stun in stripes with our casual sweater this week.
We have a lovely textured and striped sweater for you this week. It is worked in Rico Design Creative Silky Touch DK, which is a soft, vegan yarn that is gentle on the skin and the environment.
The shades used are Beige (02) and Red (28). You need 4 (5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6 ,6) 100-g balls in the Beige and 2 (2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3) 100-g balls in the Red. To order direct or find out more about the yarn, visit www.myyarnery.co.uk.
Instructions are given for eight sizes ranging from 81 cm (32 ins) to 117 cm (46 ins). Actual size is around 10 cm (4 ins) bigger so we would recommend you make your usual size unless you want a loose, baggier fit and then we would suggest you go up a size.
