The Curly sheep sweater is a short-length style knit with a polo neck and balloon sleeves decorated with short rib cuffs. The polo neck has two snap fasteners so it is very easy to put the sweater on or take it off. The sweater is worked top-down and sleeves with the body are worked in Fisherman rib stitch pattern. Because body and sleeves are worked straight it can be easily made longer and of course, more yarns should be purchased. Curly sheep sweater is a fashionable jumper that fits well with high waist jeans or shorts.
