Colorful.thing
The Buntes.ding sweater is perfect to snuggle up on cold days. For this purpose, the cut is designed a little wider. Also, the raglan line is longer than normal. This results in light batwing sleeves. Towards the cuff, the buntes.thing becomes narrower again.
Knitting stripes is just insane fun. There are also an insane number of possibilities.
The model is knitted with two threads, with a cotton/merino yarn and with a mohair yarn.

Alternatively, you can also knit one more stripe for L - XXL, then only 1 skein is needed for each additional color. In this case I would knit the stripes only 8 cm wide, but 1 stripe more.
Important: When using alternative yarn, make sure that the same run length is purchased from both yarn qualities.
Needles: Main needle 3.75 mm circular knitting needle (80 cm), cuff 3.25 mm circular knitting needle (80 cm). For the cast on I recommend a shorter rope (until there are enough sts on the needle), or you can also work with Magic Loop.
Accessories: stitch marker, stitch holder or scrap yarn, darning needle.
Requirements: Increases (m1l, m1r) and decreases (k2tog, ssk), German short rows.
