Stripy Magnum (meaning “big” in Latin) is the heart of the Stripy Pullover Family – it is a comfy and loose pullover that you will want to wear everyday. Worked top-down, the highly elastic neckline and short rows adjust to neck and shoulders, while the compound raglan shaping creates a yoke that flatters every body and that is highly functional. The pullover can be made to desired length and the sleeves are loose and tapered to allow for movement while still looking great. The thin striping throughout allows for an opportunity to be playful with color and stash bust, while creating a classic garment that belongs in everyone’s wardrobe. The pattern includes video tutorials and size-specific progress tables that make crocheting this jumper a breeze!

Alternative Yarns
Any fingering weight yarn will work, but here are some I would recommend:
- DMC Natura, Just Cotton (100% Cotton)
- Cascade Heritage, Solids (75% Merino Wool, 25% Nylon)
- Knit Picks, Twill Fingering (100% Fine Superwash Merino Wool)
- Sirdar, Country Classic 4 Ply (50% Merino Wool, 50% Acrylic)
Gauge
23 sts x 16 rows = 10 x 10 cm with 3.5 mm hook alternating sc and dcFLO rows worked flat.
Be sure to block and check gauge before starting by making a big enough gauge swatch (at least 15 x 15 cm).
Certain materials might sag and fabric will extend too much with drape, so adjust hook appropriately.
