A close-fitting short-sleeved sweater with a panel of fine twisted rib running up the centre from a garter hem. At the underarms the rib spreads right across the yoke. There's a short front opening with a pointed turn-down collar, and the short sleeves are fitted at the band and puffed where they're gathered into the armhole.

Worsted (Aran) and bulky (chunky) yarns aren't offered: the twisted-rib panel loses its fine look and the puffed sleeves get bulky.

What you'll get

• Every piece written out in full for your size and gauge
• Row counts with the length to check against, so you always know where you are
• Row-by-row planners for the tricky bits, where shaping happens on both edges at once
• Drawings of each piece with your measurements, and full making-up instructions

Every design is chosen by a knitter and checked against its original pattern. If you get stuck, email us and a real person will help.

No swatch? You can use the gauge on your yarn's label. For a perfect fit, knit a swatch and measure it over plain stockinette, which is most of the lower body. Here's how to measure your gauge.
