Chelsea

The perfect cozy sweater for chilly days, this versatile design combines comfort and style with a unique ribbing mix pattern on both the front and back. This eye-catching feature not only makes the sweater visually appealing but also adds a delightful challenge for knitters who love to create. The ribbing appears in a series of engaging shapes divided by a diagonal stripe, and all segments are meticulously crafted separately before being sewn together for a polished finish. While this model showcases sleeves in two contrasting colors, you’re more than welcome to keep things simple by using a single color throughout for a classic look.
