The Wide Rib Sweater is an oversized sweater with slightly wide sleeves. It is worked in a ribbed pattern of 4 knit stitches and 2 purl stitches (k4, p4), except for the neckline.Stitches for the sweater's back piece are cast on, shaped with short rows while knitting in the specified texture. Next, stitches for the shoulders are picked up and worked separately before being joined to form the front piece. The back and front pieces are joined to work the body. The body is worked to the length that suits you. Then, stitches for the sleeves are picked up and worked straight down. Finally, stitches for the neckline are picked up and worked in a twisted rib as a contrast to the sweater's overall texture.
