Inspiration: A rib stitch is synonymous with resilience and reliability, fitting for blustery walks, when the funnel neck is pulled up close to your chin, for protection against the elements. Designed to be thrown on over layers, workwear, or everyday jeans, I wanted this casual, oversized sweater to feel timeless and genderless, to be hardwearing and hardworking in your wardrobe. Wild Wool with its heathered colours and rustic twist feels an appropriate yarn to celebrate the outdoors.

Construction: A casual oversized sweater in an all over rib stitch. With integral open funnel neck collar to be worn up or down, large patch pocket and three-needle cast-off on the outside shoulder seam to detail. The cast on and beginning section of the front and back and the sleeve cuffs are worked on a smaller size needle for a better fit.
