Simple pattern, complicated result

It looks complicated, but it was very simple to knit. I didn't have a plan, I just started with the squares you see at the bottom and this was the result. This was one yarn type, which changed colors. Because sometimes I had a lot of stiches (at the top) and sometimes there where only a few (the squares) the pattern varies from stripes to color blocks. The top and the sleeves are knittited in one piece.
