This oversized sweater is knit in the round, from the bottom up, with alternating stripes of 4 ply and lace weight yarns. The needle size remains the same to give a light and open texture to the sweater. It is divided at the armholes and is knitted flat for the front and back; then the shoulders are joined together with a three needle bind off. The neck at the front is shaped with a few shoulder rows; the neckband is picked up and knitted afterwards. Sleeves are picked up from the front and back edges and knit with less ease for a tighter fit than the body.
Materials:
Yarn 1: Truly Hooked standard sock (100% superwash merino/25% nylon, 425 m per 100 g) AND
Yarn 2: Truly Hooked suri lace (74% baby suri alpaca, 26% silk, 300 m per 50 g) (see notes below on yarn choices)
Grey sample used Shadow standard sock and Alter Ego suri lace. Pink sample used Shade standard sock and Coral suri lace.

Yarn recommendations:
This pattern uses two different yarns, a 4ply yarn and a lace weight yarn. You can use a 4ply yarn as yarn 2 if you prefer.
For the 4ply yarn, choose a fibre that has great stitch definition and a little drape. Your lace yarn can be fluffy or not, and should give a more open fabric when used on your gauge needles. Together, the two yarns give interesting texture and a drapey fabric that is very light to wear.
