Our Classic Rib is a simple and classic sweater with a slightly high neck. The pattern originated as "Olives Classic Rib", a children's version of the same model. We have added a strand of mohair in this adult edition to give the classic rib sweater a more elegant, soft, and exclusive look.
The sweater is knitted in the round, from top down.
The neckline is shaped using short rows; the pattern uses German Short Rows.
Increases are made for the sleeves using raglan, then the sleeves are knitted in the round on Knitting needles or on circular needles using the "Magic loop" method.
The sweater is very flexible in fit and can easily be knitted longer/shorter as desired.
Classic Rib is designed to have a negative ease, meaning the garment's stretch is less than the actual bust measurement. When choosing a size, you can advantageously use the "Guiding Bust Measurements" section as a starting point to find the right size. For example, if you measure 96 cm around the bust, you should choose to knit size M to achieve the intended fit.
