Chunky Rib Sweater Knit Pattern
Chunky Rib Sweater Knit Pattern
Ribbing that flows gracefully from the collar, angling with the plump ribbing at the yoke that cascades down to the edge, gives the linear silhouette of the classic ribbed sweater a striking and dynamic look. Worked top down and in the round, with 3 strands together throughout, the Chunky Rib Sweater features a high collar and a comfortable, roomy fit. German short rows shape the back, raising the neckline.
The Chunky Rib Sweater is size inclusive, and its length can be easily modified to fit any shape, style and preference.
