Bring your 90s sweater dreams to life! 1999 is a classic raglan pullover that’s sure to be an everyday favorite, consisting of multicolored stripes that are super fun to knit. Why 1999? It’s inspired by the stripey 90s sweaters from the Gap that used to be holiday gifting favorites. Knit the whole sweater in one solid color, stripe two or three colors … or use 15 different colors, like me! 1999 is knit using Modern Daily Knitting Atlas yarn – 100% Rambouillet, as soft as Merino but with more bounce (and it comes in 23 amazing colors.) This sweater is also a fantastic stash-busting project for all your worsted weight scraps. The stripe sequence in these photos is just a suggestion – choose your own colors as you go.

1999 is sized for babies, kids and adults!
This is such a fun, classic sweater … so I decided to size it for babies, toddlers, children and adults! Fifteen sizes total, ranging from an 18 inch to 72 inch chest. It’s the perfect gifting sweater – for babies, kids … the whole family. 1999 is a gender neutral design that can be knit for everyone and it’s #sizeinclusive.

Construction notes: This seamless raglan sweater is knitted in the round from the top down. The raglan increases and neck shaping will be worked at the same time. Please read ahead before knitting neck and raglan increases.
