This v-neck jumper by Marina Skua has a pattern of travelling rib columns over a background of moss stitch. It’s worked bottom-up in the round; the fronts are separated and worked flat to shape the neck, then the back is worked flat and joined at the shoulders to the fronts with a three-needle cast-off. The 2x2 ribbed neckband has decreases at the centre front. When the body is finished, stitches for the sleeves are picked up and worked down to the cuff.

Please note, the stitch pattern across the body and sleeves of the jumper is charted only and does not include row-by-row written instructions.
