Designer’s note:
Pullover is knitted in the round from the top down. The design is intended to be worn loose.
The style calls for a wide body combined with narrow arms. I makes a perfect outer layer in a swoncho-like look to keep you warm.

And here is the trick with the stripes:
The stripes are knitted with contrasting colours held double. So they are perfect to use some leftovers.
And if the yarn is thinner than recommended, I recommend to use just three or four strands. Have fun knitting !

A) 5 (6, 7, 7, 8, 9) balls of 0054 – light ash heather

German Version
Der Pullover ist einfach zu stricken, da er von oben nach unten rundgestrickt wird.
Und hier kommt der Trick mit den Streifen: der Faden wird hier doppelt verwendet. Und das Beste ist, du kannst hier auch einfach Wollreste verwenden. Sollten die zu dünn sein, dann nehme sie einfach dreifach oder Vierfach
