Stripey Sleeve Wrap Sweater - a lean and longer version of the Stripey Bolero

Sleeves are in the same Earth and Sky colorway that I designed for my pueblo stole. And any of the pueblo stole colors would work for this sweater ... with raisin as the bodice in the autumn colorway...twig for the primavera...fir for December.

As with the bolero, if you cross your arms in front of you - the stripes match up!

The sweater's mostly stockinette, with garter trim all around. darts front and back. Garter stitch ties at the left, and inside are skinny crocheted ties to keep things where you want them.

cable decreases - always nice
