I...love...stripes. A good percentage of the outfits in our household, both for the children and the adults, feature stripes. While you can pair the Cradle Cardigan and the Autumn Frock with something stripey, I wanted to also design a knit piece with stripes.Hello Spring Jumper.

My (amazing in every way) assistant Jerusha knit this sample. She did a beautiful job executing a technique you can use when knitting stripes in the round called jogless jog. The individual pattern available to yarn shops and the book / e-book explain in words how to do this yourself, and soon I'll have a video tutorial for jogless jog here on Knitbot.
