Ernie Sweater is a slim and elastic ribbed sweater, with a yarn composition that makes it warm and good in cold weather. The sweater is knitted from the top down. You cast on stitches for the neck and gradually increase evenly for the sleeves and yoke for raglan in an established rib pattern. The sweater is roomy at the armholes, but is otherwise narrow in the model. Since the entire sweater is knitted in rib, it can easily be shaped to the desired fit by steaming.
Gray sweater is knitted in Puno 1315 and Plum 055.
Blue sweater is knitted in Puno 388 and Plum 135.
