Serenity Stripe Sweater Pattern

The Serenity Stripe Sweater is one of those go-to sweaters that is so comfortable and cozy you will not want to take it off! Our Serenity Boucle yarn is ultra-light weight and soft. This sweater is an oversized drop-sleeve construction, worked seamlessly from the top down.  It is worked both flat and in the round, beginning with the turtleneck and then working the back and front pieces, at first, separately and then together, ending with a split hem.  Sleeves are picked up around the armholes and worked in the round with slight decreases.  This sweater is truly the perfect piece to add to your hand knit wardrobe.   Pattern details: Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate Knitter Needle Size: Size US 11 (8 mm) 40” / 100 cm circular needle or size needed to obtain gauge Size US 11 (8 mm) double pointed needles, optional Finished Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5)[6, 7, 8, 9)  43 (47, 51, 55, 59)[63, 67, 71, 75]” / 109 (119.5, 129.5, 139.5, 150)[160, 170, 180.5, 190.5] cm bust circumference.  Recommended to be worn with 14-16” / 35.5-40.5 cm of positive ease.   The Big Sur/Mystic sample is shown in a size 3 on a 36” / 91.5 cm bust with 15” / 38 cm of positive ease.
