The bug for using Red Heart Strata and other striping yarns definately bit me this winter. I wanted to make a baby sweater that would stripe well but had a hard time finding the right pattern. I didn't want to go over 40-50 stitches so the stripes would be the optimum size. I ended up taking a basic boatneck sweater and adapting it to a larger needle with a heavier weight yarn. This is the result. I just had to make a little hat to match!

Hi: I am reading this very late so you may not get my comment at all. If you love baby sweaters in self-striping yarns, I can recommend the Sideways Sock Yarn Baby Sweater designed by Hyphen Boy. Look for it here http://hyphenboydesigns.com/, it's the 4th down in the first list. It's wonderfully entertaining to knit and turns out so beautifully. His patterns are wonderfully complete and mistake free.
All the best
