This pattern is so customizable depending on your preferences for length and fit. I’m wearing the cropped version (MC Stone) with 1” of negative ease and the hip length version (MC Chris Grey) with 2” of positive ease at the bust.
This is the PERFECT project for one of our TFA Palettes.

I knit my first Camaro prototype almost 3 years before releasing the pattern. Over the years it has become one of my favourite sweaters and I’m thrilled to finally have the pattern ready to share! There is nothing I like more than a blank canvas on which to play with colour, and this sweater is just that. There is no end to the stripe and colour options - Go bold! Play it safe! Try a random sequence or stick with an even stripe width, the sky is the limit! I can’t wait to see where this design takes you.
