For anyone struggling with the idea of sticking to just one colour for the next project, this one’s for you. The Stripy Affair sweater is worked top down on 5 mm (US8) needles holding together one strand of merino and two strands of silk mohair. It has a flattering V-neck, dropped shoulders and a relaxed fit – a combination that looks gorgeous on most body types. The generous sleeves and body are finished with a wide 2x2 rib to give the piece a modern and luxurious feel.
