White Sheep Sweater - Ruke Knits

By Ruke Knits

White sheep sweater is a short length style knit with mock neck and long balloon sleeves decorated with short rib cuffs. The mock neck is super cute because it molds well around the neck and it looks very feminine. It is worked top-down and sleeves with the body are worked in Fisherman rib stitch. Because sweater body is worked straight it can be easily made longer and of course, more yarns should be purchased. White sheep sweater is a fashionable jumper that fits well with high waist jeans or shorts.
