Oversized Rainbow Stripe Cardigan

Knit a relaxed cardigan with colourful stripes, dropped shoulders, a V neckline, tapered sleeves and a contrasting front band. Random colour changes let you create your own stripe arrangement.

The body is worked flat from the bottom up in one piece to the underarms, then divided for the fronts and back. Shoulders are joined with a three-needle bind-off. Sleeves are picked up around the armholes and worked downward in the round. The front and neckline band is added last. Optional buttonholes are included.
