This sweater is knit flat from the top, down, until it is split for the sleeves. The sleeves are then returned to needles and worked in the round. the entirety of the sweater is worked in Broken Rib in the MC for 6 rows, with 2 rows of Garter Stitch in the CC in between the Broken Rib. The collar is then picked up using the CC for 2 rows of garter stitch, and then worked in 2x2 ribbing in the MC for the remainder of the collar. All bind offs are done with using the Tubular Bind Off method for the bottom hem, both sleeves, and the collar.
It is highly suggested that when using Replay, you purchase an additional skein if you wish to add length to the body. Replay Sport is a non repeatable yarn (within each colorway), and it is better to be safe then sorry.

  1. Broken rib pattern is only done in the main color and is worked in either 6 rounds (worked in the round) or 6 rows (when being worked flat).
  2. 2 garter stitch rows in the CC are always worked in between the 6 rounds/rows of the MC Broken Rib Pattern.
