The Ribbon Sweater is designed to be knitted from the bottom up in the round. The front features a textured pattern, while the back and sleeves are worked in stocking stitch. A deep slit is incorporated at the center front, where the work is divided and then knitted back and forth.
The sleeve cuffs are created using double knitting, complete with a buttonhole. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and knitted along the edge of each cuff. Initially, the sleeves are worked back and forth to form a slit, after which they are joined to be knitted in the round.
Both the body and sleeves are knitted separately until reaching the armholes, at which point they are joined on a single circular needle to work the yoke back and forth. The yoke decreases are cleverly designed to create the illusion of set-in sleeves. Finally, the neckline is finished with a double-knitted ribbon featuring long tails that can be tied at the neck.

Wool is naturally stain and odour resistant and requires less washing than many fibres.
Airing wool garments outside in damp weather can often refresh them and remove odours.
However, when it is time to wash wool garments, here is how we recommend you do it.

DETERGENT / SOAP
Use mild or neutral detergents with a relatively neutral pH level, preferably those marked wool.
Avoid heavy-duty detergents and those containing enzymes or bleaches.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
By hand: Ensure the water temperature is steady, lukewarm or around 28°C/82°F.
Add a small amount of gentle detergent, submerge your wool garment, and soak it until completely saturated.
Rinse two to three times in clean water and ensure the same temperature. If using no-rinse detergent,
skip the rinsing steps. Press the water out of the garment, then roll the garment between clean, dry towels with light pressure. Alternatively, place the garment in a washing bag and gently spin it in the washing machine.
By machine: Use a washing machine with a wool setting and a gentle cycle.

DRYING INSTRUCTIONS
Lay the garment flat on a clean towel and reshape it as needed.
Leave to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
