The Bonnie Sweater features a relaxed fit with a graphic rib pattern and cross-rib-shoulder construction. The ribbed details on the shoulders continue into the sleeves, adding an interesting touch to the design.
The sweater is knitted from top to bottom. First, the shoulder sections are worked on, followed by the front and back worked separately. Subsequently, it is knitted in the round to encompass both the body and sleeves before concluding with the creation of the turtleneck.
