Adam’s Ribs is my own wandering-rib stitch pattern that’s completely reversible, with a soft scallop and nice drape - perfect for this blanket-style wrap sweater with long slender sleeves.

Sweater is knit in one piece from side to side, with a few short rows to shape the underarms. The sleeve caps are worked seamlessly into the shoulders using short rows, and sleeves are worked in the round to the wrist. The only - very short - seams are at shoulders.

Sizes: XS (S, M, ML, L, XL)
to fit chest sizes 28-32 (33-37, 38-42, 43-46, 47-51, 52-56)“ with cross-back measurements (from underarm to underarm) of 14¼ (16¾, 19, 21½, 23¾, 26¼)”.
Sweater shown is size S worn over a 36” bust.

Gauge :
24 stitches = 5¾“ and 28 rows = 4¾” in pattern stitch (equivalent to about 17 sts and 24 rows in stockinette stitch).
