Ruth Sweater
Ruth is an oversized, reversible, two coloured brioche sweater, that is worked seamlessly from the top down. This sweater has a double knitted stripe which continuously runs along the shoulder line and down the sleeve length.
You can choose between working the 1x1 rib stitch crew neckline either to be folded down for a double neckline using a provisional cast on or leave it plain. The shoulders are formed using a saddle shoulder construction. You can include optional waist shaping (like pink sample version) into the body.
