The ribbing band is seamlessly integrated and knitted as you work the sweater from the top down no picking up stitches required. I love how this method creates vertical ribbing instead of the traditional horizontal edge, giving the sweater a clean, modern look. The design also incorporates plenty of positive ease for a relaxed, comfortable fit that flatters a multitude of body types. (*Note: The pattern calls for ITO & a Suri Alpaca )


Finished Measurements:
Bust: 52
Body Width: 54
Shoulder to bottom of the ribbing: 22
Sleeve length from underarm: 11

Arm and body length can be adjusted to fit, and yardage requirements may vary depending on modifications.
For example, if you make it a bit shorter in body length and sleeve, you can use just 2 balls of Ito.
