Chunky ribsweater is a chunky sweater knitted in rib with a light and high neck and a loose fit. The sweater is knitted in the round, top-down in a classic rib pattern. The rib pattern is interrupted by another rib pattern on the raglan increases, which start at the neck and continue along the body.
The neckline is shaped using short rows made with the German Short Rows technique.
You increase for the sleeves using raglan increases, then the sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the magic loop technique.
The blouse is very flexible in fit and can be knitted shorter or longer depending on how you want it.
Chunky Ribsweater is designed to allow room for movement and is therefore knitted larger than the actual bust measurement, i.e. positive ease. When choosing a size, you can refer to the section "guideline bust measurement" and based on that find the right size. For example, if you have a 98 cm chest circumference, you should choose size 2 for the sweater to fit properly.
