Have you ever spotted someone with amazing style on the street and felt inspired? Pay it forward with this relaxed drop-shoulder sweater featuring a bold colorblock pattern.

Perfect Stranger invites you to get creative: play with the width and order of the stripes, and choose your favorite yarn in your favorite colors (I used the luxuriously soft Caravan from Crave Yarn).

This sweater is the perfect canvas to discover and showcase your personal style.
