Confetti Ribs Knit Pattern Free
Free knitting pattern for the Confetti Ribs top featuring cap sleeves and versatile necklines. Includes instructions for Mistake Rib and 2/2 Rib using single or double strand yarn. Designed by Knitter's Design Team.
Confetti Ribs
Different rib designs provide options for making a knit that suits you. The cap sleeve shaping is worked as you go. The two sides of each piece are each worked a little differently, offering the versatility of either being worn to the front: two necklines in the red version, two fabric weights—yarn used single or double—in the earthy version. Remember if you double the yarn it will knit up faster but use almost double the yarn.
