Stripy Parvum (meaning “small” in Latin) is the soul of the Stripy Pullover Family – it is a figure hugging and very flattering everyday jumper. Worked top-down, the highly elastic neckline and short rows adjust to your 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 cropped or full length to desired length and the sleeves are narrow and tapered to fit to your arms. 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!
The pattern is available in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. / El patrón está disponible en Español. / O molde está disponível em português. / Le patron est disponible en français

Alternative Yarns
Any fingering weight yarn will work, but here are some I would recommend:
DMC Natura, Just Cotton (100% Cotton)
Knit Picks, Palette (100% Peruvian Highland Wool)
Knit Picks, Twill Fingering (100% Superwash Merino Wool)
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.
