Frequently asked questions
Which No Frills Sweater sizes does this listing cover?
These specifications follow the XS–3XL edition held by Wild & Woolly. The current designer website has a different expanded size range; use the measurements for this edition.
Can the ribbed neckline be reinforced?
The pattern suggests sewing thin elastic thread along the neck edge to help it hold its shape over time.
