Stripes Sweater Knitting Pattern
An intermediate-level striped sweater knitting pattern with a classic fit and set-in sleeves. The back and front are worked alike, with matching stripe sequences throughout, then finished with a ribbed neckband. Row tension is important to ensure the stripes match neatly across seams.
Tension: 19 sts and 29 rows to 10cm over stocking stitch using 4mm needles. It is crucial that row tension is achieved, otherwise stripes will not match.
