Skinny stripes have a timeless appeal, especially for summer sweaters.
When I first designed the cap sleeve version of this pattern, I thought it would be fun to work up other versions as well. I’ve added another size, and have included a 3/4-length sleeve version, and a scoop neck cami. The bust and shoulder widths are the same for all three pieces, so you can mix and match for body length, sleeve length, and neck type.
These pieces were worked up in a machine washable cotton that will shrink when first washed, so make sure to match your gauge to the finished gauge. If you decide to substitute a different yarn, you may need to purchase a DK weight yarn.
