Diagonal Rib Pullover from Cynthia Yanok is a design for men that features Knitglobal Sock Yarn, a 4-ply wool and nylon blend from Aurora Yarns. The yarn is held doubled throughout and the pattern calls for size 7 US (4.50 mm) needles. The overall ribbed pattern not only adds visual interest, it makes the sweater very comfortable to wear.
