Details

About Mariza Sweater
MARIZA is a soft and simple sweater, worked in Faux Fisherman’s Rib on the front and back, with stockinette stitch sleeves. Its straight shape and slightly puffed sleeves give it a modern, feminine look that’s easy to wear every day. The Faux Fisherman’s Rib is very easy to knit — a perfect stitch for beginners or for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable project.

Stitches used
Faux Fisherman’s Rib is easier to knit than traditional Fisherman’s Rib, since it doesn’t require working double stitches. It is an ideal stitch for beginners, as it uses only knit and purl stitches. This stitch is also reversible and has the great advantage of not curling.
