Color Divide Sweater

Description

If you’re looking for a fun and easy sweater project, this free chunky knit pattern is perfect! It’s beginner-friendly and works up super fast with chunky yarn. The top-down raglan construction makes it easy to try on as you go, so you can get the fit just right. Plus, it’s size-inclusive, covering everything from XS to 5XL, so everyone can enjoy making and wearing this cozy sweater.

The bold stripes give this sweater a timeless yet modern vibe, and you can add white divider lines for an extra pop. You’ll get to choose between surface crochet or tapestry needle embroidery for the lines, with step-by-step video tutorials to guide you through both options. The split hem gives it a cool, relaxed look, and it’s great for layering. Bonus: it’s an awesome stash buster—mix and match your leftover yarns to make it truly unique!
