A bright, fun sweater with an intriguing bubble stitch pattern for the main body on the back and front. This may look tricky to knit but is actually very simple and gives a lovely raised effect. The rest of the sweater is a broken rib pattern divided from the bubble stitch by a raised reversed stocking stitch band to match the neckband and other borders. Worked bottom up and with full written instructions.
