Let your inner creative run wild with the Sunbeam Stripe Cardi Pattern. It’s all about mixing yarns, colors and textures in a way that resonates with you as you knit. It’s also a whole lot of fun! Scraps of yarn or our Mini Skein Sampler Kits are ideal for this pattern. It’s up to you to make it your own. We’ve listed the yarns needed below if you prefer to follow our lead too.

• The mixed yarn sample shown here is knit using all of our yarns (any will work except for the super chunky Pixie Dust or Wanderlust). The other two samples are shown in these color combos: Vanilla/Fog/Bon Vivant and High Vibes/Honeysuckle/High Vibes/Sweet Dreams.
