The Syncopated Stripe Sweater is a top-down raglan, featuring a playful twist on classic stripes. Slipped stitches are used in lieu of stranded colorwork to create the syncopated stripes, so only one
color is worked at a time. And this sweater is perfect for special single skeins and leftover yarns.
