Rib Sweater PDF Pattern

I have been making jumpers on repeat, both low and high neck version.

I have not made this yet

Er ist auch für Anfänger nicht schwer zu nähen und den eigenen Massen gut anzupassen. Mal etwas anderes!

A quick make and super stylish finish. Instructions very clear and detailed. I downsized to an 8 in a french terry medium weight which was a great fit, not baggy but roomy enough for a T-shirt underneath. I was not sure about sewing the high neck option but glad I did as it looks good and stays in place. The Sweater goes equally well with a smart pair of trousers or a pair of joggers, especially the Sunday Trackies, which I have also made. I used an overlock stitch on my sewing machine for the cuffs rather than overlock as they needed to be kept taut and I didn't want any mishaps! I have just finished sewing my second Rib Sweater and they are my go to tops for ease and comfort.

I was looking for a tracksuit that I could wear over my yoga clothes when I go to the gym. Clearly the nicest ensemble I could find was the Rib Sweater and Sunday Trackies. To find the right size, I sewed a sample piece with a natural white sweatshirt fabric made of pure cotton, which I could get cheaply. At first I wanted to dye the fabric, but then I decided on a coarse-knit ribbed fabric in an egg-yolk color, which turned out to be a wonderful color combination.

I made the first pair of trousers in size 14 and have now made another pair in size 12, which fits better. I shortened the legs slightly below the knee, but I missed a line in the pattern to shorten or lengthen them. I also shortened the second sweater slightly, both times in size 12, but I also missed the aforementioned line. The ribbed fabric stretches further than expected, which is why I chose the pattern piece for size 10 the second time. For a tracksuit, which can be very casual, this doesn't matter. Overall, however, it would be nice to know how much the ribbed fabric should stretch.

Processing: All instructions are visually appealing and easy to follow. Both pieces are quick and easy to sew, preferably with an overlocker. Unlike the instructions, I sewed the sleeve, which has no extra width, to the front and back before closing the side seams and then closed the sleeve and side seams with a continuous seam. With the wide ribbed fabric, I had to pin the ribs neatly together so that they didn't shift when sewing them together. It worked well on the third attempt. I made a template for the trouser pockets. I always use the cardboard from old gallery invitation cards for this.

Now that I already have two nice light-colored tracksuits, I have an olive-colored sweat fabric on hand that I will combine with a light blue-gray ribbed fabric. With the few small adjustments to the pattern, these have become casual and chic garments. Also highly recommended for beginners!

Wonderful sweater to sew and it looks elevated from the usual sweatshirts out there. I made the next size up (16 instead of 14) because I wanted a cozier feel and it looks so great that I think I'll stick with this larger size for the next one I make. I made it in a heavy-ish organic cotton sweatshirting fabric. My matching ribbing fabric was 100% cotton and did not have as much stretch (a scant 50% stretch) as most rib knits so I was worried about the neck band and cuffs. I needn't have since it worked out perfectly without modifications. A stretch percentage requirement in the pattern instructions/details would have eased worries from the start.

I have bought many leisure suit patterns and this one is the best fit and design! Thank you!

Okay, I love this pattern. I have sewn 4 already and have plans to adapt it into some T-shirts for spring. The neckline and band work perfectly together. I did reduce the height of the high band by 1cm, used a heavier weight ribbing and find it very flattering to wear. I have made both styles and love them both. The slightly dropped shoulders are perfectly balanced with a higher armhole fit. Once again we have been given an expertly drafted pattern to work with. Perfection!

Another great pattern! I live in Texas and this jumper is perfect for fall evenings and winter wear. I used a bamboo fleece which makes it super cozy and I love the longer cuffs / slightly balloon sleeves which make it feel a little bit special. Instructions were clear (love the illustrations) and a fairly simple make; I am newer to knits and find them intimidating but this pattern was perfect to help me gain confidence. Can’t wait to make the higher neck!

I love this pattern, simple to make but the long cuffs and high neck collar give it that extra style. Clear and nicely illustrated instructions. I made mine using a fur back sweatshirt fabric and it is so cosy. I made a size 12 but next time I think I will size down as it is a generous fit on me. Already planning my next one!

I love this pattern! This is the classic pull over I was looking for. I haven’t been sewing for a long time, and this was such a fun and easy make! The directions were super easy to follow, and I think this is something anyone could make and be super proud of. I wore mine non-stop the first couple weeks, and it’s still in heavy rotation.

I really love this jumper- the balloon type sleeves are lovely combined with the long cuffs. So far I have had a lot of wear out of this, and have bought fabric to make a second.

I found the instructions easy to follow, and once I had everything traced it only took a few hours to make. Next time I'm going to try the high neck version, I that looks really snuggly for working from home in the wintery months.

I'll be recommending this pattern to everyone I know!

Another fab pattern! This sweater is perfect for autumn and winter. Really clear instructions and a fairly simple make. I love the long cuffs and puffy sleeves, so cool! Next time I will size down and shorten the bodice as it is an oversized fit (I am an 8 but should have made a 6). Plenty of scope for adjusting the pattern if need be.

I love this sweater and made it twice so far. The second time I went for a smaller size and lengthened the bodice instead - but that is because I am one of the tall ones :) the pattern is well drafted, all the pieces fit together nicely. Instructions are clear and easy. I love the clean and yet cosy fit, especially the very well-fitting collar! There will be more to come! :)
