Watten is an all over ribbing sweater. It is knitted from top to bottom. The sweater has a light A-line. Due to the ribbing pattern, the adjustment is a little bit easier. If you like to wear the sweater body-hugging, you should block it less after washing.

Many thanks to WOOLFOLK who supported me with this project.

I choose “Watten” (German word for tidelands) because the structure of this Sweater reminds me so much of the mudflats.
