PDF DUTCHESS CREW
The first of this years Rhinebeck Sweaters is the Dutchess Crew. A simple bottom up pullover knit in broken rib and garter rows, this pattern will have you saying, "ONE MORE ROW!", over and over. This was absolutely a yearr of simplicity for me while designing, but keeping patterns simple and classic, also allowed me to explore new techniques and garment construction that I had previously never explored before.
Dutchess Crew is a bottom up, slightly cropped, pullover that features Broken Rib and Garter Stitch.
