Perfect for knitters of intermediate skill level, this pattern features traditional styling with ribbed cuffs and hem, and includes comprehensive instructions for a wide range of chest sizes from 61 cm (24 in) to 117 cm (46 in).
Ideal for making matching family sweaters, the design uses a combination of stocking stitch and rib patterns for texture and structure. Sizes are clearly laid out, and the pattern includes row-by-row directions for creating a well-fitted back panel.

Please note Guernsey wool is not naturally soft but softens with washing.
