Soft Stripe Sweater Knitting Pattern

Make a Sweater That Actually Gets Worn

You have the skills. What you need is a pattern with real texture, a good size range, and instructions that keep you moving forward without second-guessing every row.

The corrugated rib and quilted lattice panels alternate across the body and sleeves, giving you a finished sweater with serious visual payoff and a process that holds your interest the whole way through.

Skill Level: Experienced
Finished Size: Chest 102–142 cm / 40.1–55.9 inches (XS–3XL), with 12–24 cm / 4.7–9.4 inches of positive ease

• Seven sizes from XS to 3XL, with detailed measurements listed for each, so you can pick the right size with confidence instead of guessing
• Two distinct stitch patterns worked in two colors create that bold stripe effect without requiring colorwork experience beyond two-strand ribbing
• Knit top-down with the back yoke first, then the front picked up from the same cast-on edge, so there are no seams and the construction logic is easy to follow once you understand the flow

"I didn't expect to love the process this much. The stripes come together faster than you'd think."
