Ladies’ Half Fisherman’s Rib Pullover Project Kit
This attractive fitted sweater is worked in four main pieces, then seamed together. The Half Fisherman’s Rib makes a lighter and more economical garment than a full Fisherman’s Rib and is quicker to work as well! The garment is finished with an optional neat contrast band at neck, cuffs and welt, which makes it really stylish. This is a comfortable and easy-to-wear item for casual or work activities.
Our kit can be ordered in any shade of Shetland 4-ply from our coffee range. It will arrive in one of our cotton tote bag, with the pattern and wool for your size ordered. Your kit will contain the pattern and 6-8 100g skeins of wool. You can either knit this garment in one shade, or pick one contrast shade for the neck, cuffs and welt.
