Knitting Pattern Woman's Ribbed Jumper 1024

Instant Digital Knitting Pattern Download

This Fisherman’s Rib raglan sweater is a timeless, super-chunky knit designed for warmth, comfort, and bold texture. Worked flat in pieces and seamed, it features classic raglan shaping, long sleeves, and a neat crew neckline finished with a ribbed neckband. The dense fabric created by Fisherman’s Rib makes the garment exceptionally warm while giving it a distinctive vertical ribbed texture that looks impressive but is simple to knit once the stitch pattern is established.

The pattern is graded across five sizes to suit a chest or bust measurement of 91–112 cm (36–44 in), making it a versatile project suitable for both men and women. Its unisex styling means it can be worn by anyone — as a cosy winter pullover, a casual everyday knit, or an oversized statement sweater, depending on the size and yarn chosen.

Knitted in super chunky (super bulky) weight yarn on 8 mm needles, this is a fast project with an impressive finish. It is ideal for knitters who want the satisfaction of a substantial garment without months of knitting, as the thick yarn and bold stitch pattern grow quickly on the needles.

The pattern includes clear instructions for back, front, sleeves, and neckband, with straightforward seaming for a professional finish. It is especially suitable for intermediate knitters who are comfortable with knit, purl, simple decreases, and picking up stitches. Confident beginners may also enjoy this project if they are ready to expand their skills into shaping and stitch texture.

Yarn choice is deliberately flexible: the sweater works in any true super chunky / super bulky weight (#6) yarn, whether wool, wool-blend, or acrylic. Budget-friendly and premium options are listed in the compatibility guide, allowing knitters to choose between affordable, everyday yarns or more luxurious fibres for a statement piece.

This is a classic unisex sweater designed to be worn and enjoyed for years, equally at home layered over jeans, paired with casual outfits, or styled as an oversized, modern wardrobe staple.

A flexible design that is compatible with any yarn brand you choose.
