Aros Sweater by PetiteKnit: A striped adult sweater with a folded rib neckline; the body can also be extended to dress length.

The current designer page has XXS–5XL and seven-colour stripes; older printed editions may have XS–3XL and a different stripe layout. Confirm the edition supplied before choosing the newer sizes. The yarn figures are totals across colours, not a per-colour shopping list. Dress length needs extra yarn.
Original PetiteKnit yarn requirements
Choose one yarn option. Metres are converted from the designer’s stated quantities using the listed yarn specifications. Held-together components stay separate; where one yarn is held double, its column gives the total metres for both strands.
Sunday plus mohair: one strand of each, total across all colours

Before you begin
Make a washed or blocked swatch and check both gauge and fabric before starting. Buy complete balls, allowing extra yarn for swatching, changes to length or fit, and differences in gauge. The metre figures are based on the designer’s quantities, rather than exact measured consumption.
