Knitting pattern for the Striped Muse sweater

The Striped Muse sweater is a simple capsule wardrobe piece, great for everyday outfits. The sweater is striped, featuring five colors that repeat throughout. Created with a clean and modern look, the yoke is worked flat, while the body and sleeves are knitted in the round. The neckline of the Striped Muse sweater is deeper than the Ruke Muse sweater. With no complicated stitches or advanced techniques, it’s a suitable project for beginner knitters. All edges, including the neck, naturally curl for a soft finish. The Ruke cast-off adds a subtle decorative touch to these edges. This sweater is ideal for transitional seasons when heavy knits feel too warm.
