This top-down, stripey pullover features seven colorways of Donegal nep tweed yarn; you may choose as many or as few colorways as you like. The colorwork is a simple two-row colorwork easy enough that even an absolute beginner will be able to make it.

Finished Size:
Chest 32(36,40, 44, 48, 52) inches, length 14(14.5, 15, 16, 16.5, 17)” or desired length
Yarn: Chaos Fiber Co. Freckles (85% Superwash Merino wool/15% Donegal Nep, 430 yards/100g), as many different colorways as you like. Sample worked in (from top) Amethyst (A), Teal Escape (B), Driftwood (C), Denim (D), Mauvelous (E), Black Cat (F), and Burgundy (G). My 44” bust, 18” body sample took between 17g and 62g of each color. Your yardage will vary based on sizing and length.

Needles:
US #3/3.25mm circular needle, 32 inches or longer (larger sizes may prefer a longer needle).
Set of US #3/3.25mm double pointed needles or preferred method for small circumference knitting in the round.
