Colum - Man's Ribbed Sweater

Discover the perfect addition to your wardrobe with our easy-to-wear sweater pattern that effortlessly moulds itself to your body. This cozy, flattering sweater features a relaxed round neck, making it incredibly easy to slip on and off for those chilly days when comfort is key.

Designed to be worked in a beautiful 2x2 rib stitch pattern using 7 (4.5mm) needles and aran-weight or heavy worsted yarn, this sweater grows quickly on your needles, ideal for knitters of all levels looking for a rewarding project. The stretchy rib stitch not only enhances the aesthetics but also imbues the sweater with plenty of elasticity, ensuring a perfect fit that you’ll love.

Each size includes two inches of negative ease, which means a size 38" sweater will measure 36" across the chest for that snug, body-hugging feel. If you prefer a more dramatic silhouette, consider knitting one size smaller to achieve 4" of negative ease, resulting in an even more form-fitting, body-defining look that showcases your shape beautifully.

This sweater is constructed flat, in separate pieces, and then seamed together. This traditional construction method ensures a well-fitted garment around the shoulders and armholes, offering superior stability without any biasing issues. Not only does this technique enhance the overall fit, but it also allows for easy modifications should you wish to customize your design further.

Whether you’re gearing up for a night out or simply lounging at home, this versatile sweater is sure to become a staple in your collection. With its combination of comfort, style, and excellent fit, this knitting pattern is perfect for anyone looking to elevate their wardrobe.
