Chunky rib sweater is a chunky sweater that is knitted in rib with a light and high neck and a loose fit.

The sweater is knitted in the round, from top to bottom in a classic ribbed pattern. The rib pattern is broken up by another

ribbed pattern on the raglan increases, which start at the neck and continue along the body.

The neckline is shaped using turns made using the German Short Rows technique.

You increase the sleeves using raglan increases, then the sleeves are knitted around on double pointed needles or on a

circular knitting using magic-loop technique.

The blouse is very flexible in fit and can be knitted shorter or longer depending on how you want it.

The Chunky Ribsweater is designed to have room to move and is therefore knitted larger than

the own bust measurement, i.e. positive ease. When choosing a size, you can refer to the section "indicative bust measurements"

as a reference and based on that find the right size. If it is, for example, 98 cm around the chest, you should choose

size 2 for the shirt to get the right fit
