Cramond Sweater is a cosy oversized sweater, worked from the top down in Reverse Half Fisherman’s rib stitch.

First the back is worked back and forth with increases either side. Stitches are then picked up along the back yoke to form each shoulder whilst shaping the neck. The front is then joined and knitted back and forth, before joining the back and front to work in the round for the remainder of the body. Stitches are picked up around the armhole for the sleeves, which are worked in the round. All edges are bound off using the Italian Bind-off technique. Finally, stitches are picked up and knitted in twisted rib along the neck edge.
