Walker 1_44 is a basic sweater with a relaxed body fit and a relatively fitted sleeve with a bit of extra length to keep wrists and hands warm, too.

The decorative rib edges are partially based on the “Rick Rack Rib” found in Barbara G. Walker’s “A Treasury of Knitting Patterns” and the pattern is named after the author and where to find the rick rack rib: first book in the series, page 44. Barbara G. Walker was born in 1930 and is the author of several books. In addition to knitting, she has written about feminism, mythology, and several other topics.

The sweater is shown in Rauma Finull and silk mohair held together throughout, but at 18 stitches / 10 cm, many other yarn combinations can be used. Work in one color with decorative rib edges for a sweater that is both warm and elegant. Or, use the pattern as a blank canvas and use partial skeins or scraps. The pattern also includes instructions for 2x2 rib edges that will work well when working wild color combinations.

The pattern includes a bonus project: cuffs in the same pattern as the decorative rib. Perfect for trying out new color combinations or as a quick gift!
