From the Pattern Description:
“Whether you´re a keen football supporter, or simply like the look of a cute stripy jumper on your little one, you´ll be pleased to hear, that this dinky cardigan by Kate Buchanan is a breeze to knit. Vertical stripes are normaly achieved with many colour changes (a fiddly procedure), but here designer Kate Buchanan has kept things simple - by using a ´sleeve-to-sleeve` technique."
