Big Comfy Ribbed Cardi Pattern

"This is the comfiest, coziest, oversized sweater and it has the prettiest ribbed texture! Easy enough for just about anyone to knit, it only uses knit and purl stitches to make the broken rib pattern. The entire sweater is knit flat, so there's no need to know how to knit in the round. It also works up quickly on large needles! Whether you are looking to make a gift, or a gift for yourself, this is a great project!"
