FISHERMAN’S-LOOK DROP-SHOULDER JUMPER

A relaxed, hip-length, drop-shoulder jumper with a tall mock neck and a classic fisherman’s-rib look—achieved with half fisherman’s rib for warmth without bulk. The fabric has beautiful vertical definition, soft drape, and cushy depth. Sized XS–4XL with generous ease, it’s a timeless everyday layer that works best in springy Aran/Worsted wool or wool-blend yarns that hold rib texture. Knit flat in pieces and seamed; sleeves are set in; neck is picked up and worked in one-by-one rib. Ideal yarns are non-fluffy, round, and resilient to keep the ribs crisp.

What you’ll make: A boxy, drop-shoulder silhouette with generous ease (20–30 cm), set-in sleeves and a high neck that stands neatly.

Sizes: XS–4XL (bust: 106 [114, 122, 130, 138, 146, 154, 162] cm; length: 62–69 cm).
