Easy Ribbed Pullover

The Easy Ribbed Pullover is a great everyday sweater worked in alternating ribbing at varying height intervals. The boxy fit and loose sleeves make for an easy fit and the ribbing stitch pattern is relaxing and meditative without being boring. Originally designed to make use of hand-spun yarn, this is the perfect pattern to show off a striping fractal hand-spun yarn or commercial self-striping or variegated yarn!
