BEAUTIFUL RIBBED TEXTURE The sweater's standout feature is its vertical ribbed crochet texture. The panels are worked from side to side so that the ribs run vertically when the sweater is worn. The fabric is intended to have stretch, so maintaining a loose crochet tension is important for achieving the intended feel and fit. The pattern also includes instructions for the yarn-over slip stitch, making it easier to understand the main stitch technique before you begin the sweater.

Front Panel Follow the same ribbed construction while creating the front neckline opening. 3. Neckline Shaping The front neckline is created by leaving stitches unworked and then rebuilding the section so the panel returns to its original width. 4.

Shoulder Seams Join the front and back panels while keeping the neckline open. 7. Sleeve Attachment Attach each sleeve carefully to the armhole while making sure the sleeve is not twisted. 8.
