Adam's Ribs long-sleeved wrap
Introducing Adam’s Ribs, a unique and reversible wandering-rib stitch pattern that boasts a soft scallop and remarkable drape. This makes it the ideal choice for creating a stunning blanket-style wrap sweater with elegant long slender sleeves.
This beautifully designed sweater is knit in one continuous piece, worked from side to side, ensuring minimal seams for a clean and polished look. The construction includes a few short rows cleverly incorporated to shape the underarms. Sleeve caps are worked seamlessly into the shoulders using an innovative short row technique, and the sleeves are knitted in the round for a flawless fit down to the wrist. The only seams required are the very short ones at the shoulders, making this a straightforward project for knitters of all skill levels.
Gauge is crucial, and for this project, you'll need to achieve a precision of 24 stitches = 5¾" and 28 rows = 4¾" in the pattern stitch. This is roughly equivalent to about 17 stitches and 24 rows in stockinette stitch, so make sure to check your gauge for the best results!
The skills you'll utilize while crafting this beautiful wrap sweater include increases, decreases, and short rows, all of which are thoughtfully explained for your convenience. You'll also learn a provisional cast on technique and a sewn bind off to finish your project with flair.
This pattern includes comprehensive written instructions tailored for all sizes, along with detailed blocking and working schematics to guide you through your knitting journey. You'll find the stitch pattern presented in both written and charted formats for added accessibility, along with a glossary to clarify any terms you may encounter.
