Purl ribs radiate out from the neck of this pullover, interlacing in a lattice pattern at the waist and the sleeve hem.  Worked seamlessly from the neck down, this is a quickly finished project despite the lightweight yarn.  The all-over rib pattern will provide a body-conscious fit if you choose a size with no ease or negative ease.  The lattice pattern is both written out and charted, and instructions are given for working with or without a cable needle. 

    This pattern is also available as part of the Top-Down Short Sleeve Tops Pattern Collection along with the Diamond Back Top for $10.00.
