Strioca Sweater

Strioca is a classic striped sweater. The simple texture of the single crochet stitch and the use of fingering weight yarn create a wonderfully drapey fabric that is perfect for everyday wear. Strioca is worked as a top down raglan, starting with a slip stitch ribbing and some short rows for a good fit around the neck. There are many ways to make this design your own by getting creative with the stripes. The pattern is written for one Main Colour and one Contrast Colour; but you can easily use multiple colours or a fade set as contrast. See the table in the picture section for yarn amounts needed (yardage includes 10% extra for swatching and margin of error). Happy Crocheting and enjoy your new wardrobe staple!
