Rainbow Stripe Sweater Knitting Pattern
Introducing -- the Rainbow Stripe Sweater!
Choosing the Perfect Size
As I mentioned earlier, this pattern was designed to have a relaxed fit -- almost like a favorite sweatshirt! I also wanted to add a bit of vintage appeal by making it slightly cropped. But don't worry, I've added places throughout the pattern where length can be added or subtracted to get the perfect fit for YOU!
XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2X, 3X)
Finished Width at Chest: 18 (20, 22, 24) (26, 28, 30)”
Finished Chest Circumference: 36 (40, 44, 48) (52, 56, 60)
Finished Length: 21 (21.5, 22, 22.5) (23, 23.5, 24)
Sleeve Length: 17 (17.5, 18, 18) (18.5, 18.5, 18.5)
My recommendation would be to choose a size that is 6-8” larger than your corresponding body measurements. For example, I am wearing size S and have a bust measurement of 34” so I wearing this sweater with 6” of positive ease.

The Pattern
For this pattern, I've partnered with Lion Brand Yarn to offer it as a kit! In the kit you will receive all the yarn needed for the sweater and a printed copy of the pattern. If you have a different yarn in mind or would prefer to use scraps for the stripes, I have attached the links to the pattern PDF below.
