Oversize-Sweater with a saddle shoulder and raglan construction, a round neck and a pattern of statement stripes creating a modern checked pattern by vertical crochet stripes in sizes XS | S | M (L | XL | 2XL) 3XL | 4XL | 5XL.

Structure:
The sweater is worked in stockinette stitch with raglan increases top down in one piece. First, the body is worked back and forth in rows to shape the round neck. Therefore, there are increases in the right side rows and wrong side rows to shape a saddle shoulder (and the round neck, of course). Then, the sweater is worked in the round with sleeve and roundneck increases only. Afterwards, there are classic raglan increases, until the sleeves are separated from the body. The body is then finished in stockinette stitch in the round and with a hem in 1x1 ribbing with twisted knit stitches. The sleeve stitches are picked up again and the sleeves are finished in stockinette stitch in the round and with cuffs in 1x1 ribbing with twisted knit stitches. Body and sleeves are covered with a pattern of statement stripes. After the knitting part of the sweater, body and sleeves will be covered with vertical crochet stripes in CC 2 to create a modern, checked pattern. Last but not least, stitches around the round neckline are picked up and a double folded collar is worked in 1x1 ribbing with twisted knit stitches. The fit of the sweater is fitted around the shoulders, but oversized around bust and waist. The sleeves are again relatively fitted around the upper arm, but straight and without any shaping, but there are recommendations for a slight sleeve shaping included.
