We wanted to knit a striped sweater to showcase our NBF Seasonal Fall Palette and we thought the Sunday Funday sweater by Jill Zielinski / @knitterella was a great fit. We added 6 stripes to showcase the 6 limited edition colors of the fall palette. We love the result!

If you’d like to knit yourself a Sunday Funday like this, the yarn specs for the sizes are as follows:

SIZES: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5)
Suggested ease range: 10-15” / 25-37.5 cm of positive ease. Sample shown is a size 2 and worn with approx 14” of positive ease at the bust.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:
• Approx 42 (48, 56, 62, 68)” / 105 (120, 140, 155, 170) cm at bust circumference

YARN SHOWN:
North Bay Fiber Heritage (100% Targhee-Polypay; 150yd/137m per 50g);
• (C1) Orchard 3 (3, 3, 4, 5) skeins
• (C2) Acorn 3 (3, 3, 4, 4) skeins
• (C3) Harvest Moon 2 (2, 2, 2, 2) skeins
• (C4) Hubbard 2 (2, 2, 2, 2) skeins
• (C5) Grayling 2 (2, 2, 2, 2) skeins
• (C6) Black River 2 (2, 2, 2, 2) skeins

PATTERN: Pattern is available for purchase at www.knitterella.com
PLEASE NOTE: The original pattern is not written for 6 colors. However, if you want to knit a Sunday Funday in a stripey 6 color version like the one shown, you may work the ribbing in your first color and then divide the rest of the sweater into 6 even sections of approx 3.5 (3.75, 3.75, 4, 4.25)” / 9 (9.5, 9.5, 10, 10.5) cm per color for the body and approx 2.5 (2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.25) “ /6.5 (7, 7.5, 8, 8)cm per color for the sleeves.


A little math but nothing too major. It will be worth it for a cute striped Sunday Funday!
