Bonus Stripes is a drop-shoulder sweater meant to be worn with lots of positive ease, for a comfy, casual, lightly-cozy layer.
This striped pullover is worked mostly flat, from the bottom up. The fronts and backs are worked separately, then seamed — allowing you to choose a fun and vibrant pop of color for the back of your sweater. The shoulders are joined with a visible three-needle bind-off, and the sleeves are picked up at the armhole and worked in the round.
I was inspired by some beautiful skeins of Murky Depths Yakima Fingering and Yakapaca to design this sweater — my very first published pattern!
