Description:Classic, versatile, and a little bit retro — this Crucci Broken Rib Vest pattern is a perfect layering piece for cooler days.Worked in soft, durable Crucci Aella 8ply wool, it features a flattering broken rib texture that gives gentle structure without the stretch of a traditional rib. Ideal for intermediate knitters, this pattern comes in sizes S–XXL and is available in printed format. The Broken Rib stitch is simple to master: you’ll knit every right-side row and work a 1 × 1 rib on each wrong-side row, creating a beautifully defined texture that looks far more complex than it is.
