25+ Free Striped Sweater Knitting Patterns

Stripes can completely change the look of a simple knitted sweater. This collection of free striped sweater knitting patterns includes classic two-color pullovers, bold multicolored stripes, oversized sweaters, lightweight designs and patterns that combine stripes with texture or eyelets.

There are easy options as well as more involved designs, so you can choose between keeping the knitting simple or making the stripes part of a more detailed sweater.

What Kind of Striped Sweater Will You Knit?

For a classic look, try a sweater with evenly spaced two-color stripes or a traditional nautical-inspired combination.

Want something more playful? Look for wide color blocks, irregular stripes or sweaters combining several contrasting shades.

You’ll also find stripes used alongside other knitting techniques, including:

  • eyelet and lace stitches
  • textured stitch patterns
  • raglan shaping
  • oversized and relaxed fits
  • boat necks and V-necks
  • color blocking

If you’re fairly new to sweater knitting, stripes are also a great way to make a simple stockinette sweater more interesting without introducing complicated stitch patterns.
