Product Description
I love layering pieces, and Rhys is my idea of a perfect layering pullover. It’s loose, boxy silhouette is perfect with high waisted trousers or over dresses and skirts, and it also pairs well with leggings for a weekend afternoon on the couch.
Rhys features wide textured panels on the front and back and is knit flat. The front and back shoulders are seamed together before picking up for the sleeves, and the sweater is then finished with two long seams going up the sides and down the sleeves.

Rhys Pullover Sweater by Kat Riddell
What is Being Made
Rhys is a pullover sweater designed as a versatile layering piece with a loose, boxy silhouette. This knitted garment is intended to be worn with high-waisted trousers, over dresses and skirts, or with leggings. The sweater is available in 12 sizes ranging from 28 inches to 72 inches at the bust, accommodating a wide range of body measurements.
Design Features
The sweater showcases wide textured panels on both the front and back, adding visual interest and dimension to the garment. The design emphasizes a relaxed fit, with the pattern notes indicating that Rhys is intended to be worn with 4 to 6 inches of positive ease, making it an ideal choice for a comfortable, non-fitted aesthetic.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
This beginner-level knitting project uses fundamental knitting techniques suitable for those new to the craft. The primary stitch used throughout the pattern is stockinette stitch, which creates a smooth, classic fabric. The pattern also incorporates basic decreasing techniques, specifically knit two together (k2tog) and purl two together (p2tog), which are essential shaping methods in knitting.
Yarn and Needles
Rhys is worked in worsted-weight yarn, a medium-weight yarn that knits up quickly and is forgiving for beginners. The suggested yarn is Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece, which offers 215 yards per 100 grams. Yardage requirements vary by size, ranging from 475 yards for the smallest size up to 1,205 yards for the largest size. The pattern is worked on US 7 (4.5mm) needles and requires a gauge of 17 stitches and 22 rows over 4 inches in stockinette stitch.
Notions and Tools
- 8 stitch markers for tracking pattern sections and shaping
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends and seaming
This pattern by independent designer Kat Riddell (the wayward knitter) provides a straightforward introduction to sweater construction while delivering a modern, wearable garment suitable for everyday layering.
