Oversized Stripe Sweater Knitting Pattern

Make This Oversized Plaid Statement Sweater

Most stripe sweaters look flat once they're off the needles. This one doesn't.

The fitted shoulder keeps it from looking sloppy, even with all that oversized volume through the body and sleeves.

Skill Level: Experienced
Finished Size: Bust 105–164 cm (sizes XS to 5XL), oversized fit

• Saddle shoulder raglan construction fits through the shoulders while staying relaxed everywhere else, so it hangs the way it's supposed to
• Vertical crochet stripes worked over horizontal knit stripes build a two-layer checked effect that reads as a real design choice, not a colorwork accident
• Nine sizes (XS to 5XL) mean you're working from your actual measurements instead of guessing and hoping

      "Didn't expect the crochet lines to line up that clean over the stripes on my first go." — buyer note
