After finishing the Knitted Striped children’s Sweater, I thought about knitting a striped sweater for women using a chunky yarn. However, I wanted a bit of a challenge, so I switched from knitting flat to knitting in the round. I tried jogless join method and was very lucky to succeed with it! The finished product is very smooth, with absolutely no jog at the color transition point. I am truly very happy when looking at the finished garment!
Construction:
This is a round knitting pattern. In this pattern, you will knit the Main Body around then knit Upper Front and Upper Back back and forth, assemble the shoulders, knit the sleeves then knit the Neckline Ribbing around to finish the product.
Yarn:
For this design, I used 8 ply milk cotton yarn, this is a Chunky weight yarn, about 110 to 130m per 100g. You can use any type of Chunky/Bulky yarn from 100m to 130m per 100g or any compatible yarn, just make sure that your tension can meet the gauge.

I used 6.0 mm (US Size 10) circular needles. to knit the main body part, 6.0 mm (US Size 10) short circular needles to knit the sleeves, 4.5 mm (US Size 7) circular needles. to knit the body ribbing and magic loop to knit the sleeve ribbing.
