A very loose-fitting ( 9 - 10 inches of ease at the chest) uni-sex sweater in a ‘mistake’ rib with a 4-stitch pattern repeat. Raglan sleeves and a deep, round neck. Classic design that looks like fisherman’s rib/brioche stitch but which is easier to work and uses less yarn.

The raglan seams change slope to give a better fit to the shoulders than had they been straight.

This pattern is printed on three sections, is less than A4, and is illustrated being worn by women promising ‘3 looks from one design’. The sizes go from ‘to fit 30” chest to 40”’ which gives final measurements of 40 - 50 inches.
