- I used a DK (8 ply) cotton yarn, but this pattern will work with any DK yarn you choose. , For warmer months, stick to cotton and blends, for winter, choose wool.

This is a flat knit pattern, apart from the ribbing for the sweater without hood. , I use circular needles anyway as it is easier, especially to do the ribbing for the hood.

Everybody loves and looks great in the classic, per-annual favourite, the striped sweater or cardigan.
The pattern includes instructions for a plain round collared version as well as a hooded version.
A great look for boys of all ages, I have included charts with stripe variation ideas for you. Get a nautical look , go for classic red and white or try a different combination.
It is an easy to knit pattern with easy raglan shaping. The sweater is knit flat, but the sweater ribbing is done with DPN's. The ribbing on the hood is knit flat but done with circular needles.
