The design features rows of slipped stitches, which culminate in a striking central rib effect, adding depth and interest to this chic garment. With its deep ribs, this easy-fitting, drop shoulder sweater is perfect for both casual and stylish occasions, making it a must-have addition to your wardrobe.

This pattern is designed to fit bust measurements of 81, 86, 91, 97, 102, and 107 cm (32, 34, 36, 38, 40, and 42 inches), offering a range of sizes to accommodate various body types and preferences.

MATERIALS

You will need Jody Long Ciao yarn, with quantities varying based on size: 15, 15, 16, 17, 18, or 19 x 50g balls. This pattern is photographed in a lovely Cornflower shade (009). Additionally, prepare a pair of 3¼ mm (no 10) (US 3) needles and a pair of 4 mm (no 8) (US 6) needles to complete your project.

TENSION

For the FIONA sweater, achieve a tension of 22 stitches and 36 rows over a 4-inch (10 cm) square measured in the ridge pattern while using 4 mm (US 6) needles. This gauge is essential to ensure your sweater fits perfectly and matches the intended design.
