Sweater is worked in random stripes of any color or yarn, except Bouclé multi. Insert Bouclé “mini-stripes” at random.

Sweater is designed to be knit with a creative mixture of yarns. Work swatch with a few rows of each color to determine what size needle to use to get closest to gauge.

Sweater is worked in two pieces. One for the left body/sleeve, the other for the right body/sleeve. Design is asymmetric.

Finish with flapped patch pocket and tassels.

Construction schematics are provided.

Ed. note: Since several yarns in the original pattern have been discontinued, try using bulky or super bulky yarns instead. Remnants from other projects could be used as this is a free form style pullover.
