Checkered Ribbed Knit Sweater in Mustard Beige and White

A soft, cozy rib-knit with a woven check pattern in mustard beige and white. Designed for everyday comfort and easy layering.

How to Measure This Sweater

Lay the sweater flat on a table, smooth out wrinkles, and avoid stretching the knit while measuring. Use a flexible tape measure.

1. Chest/Bust Width: Measure straight across 2.5 cm (1 in) below the underarm from seam to seam. Double this number for full circumference. For rib knits, note both the relaxed width and a gentle stretch width.
2. Shoulder Width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back. If there is no defined shoulder seam, measure from where the shoulder naturally hits on each side.
3. Body Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the neckline) straight down to the bottom hem.
4. Sleeve Length: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. If there is no shoulder seam or it’s a drop-shoulder, measure from the highest shoulder point to the cuff along the outer arm.
5. Hem Width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and double for circumference. Note relaxed and gently stretched measurements for rib knits.
6. Cuff Opening: Measure across the cuff opening and double for circumference.
7. Armhole (optional): Measure from the top of the armhole seam to the bottom of the armhole seam straight across, or follow the curve if preferred.
8. Neckline (optional): Measure neck width straight across and front neck drop from the base of the neck to the lowest point of the neckline.

Note: Ribbed knits are naturally elastic. Expect a tolerance of +/- 1–2 cm due to knit stretch and manual measurement.

Materials & Fabric Guide

This checkered rib-knit is designed for comfort, stretch, and shape retention. Exact fiber content may vary by production; please refer to the garment label or product details above for the precise composition. Common blends and what they mean:

• Cotton-rich (often 60–100% cotton, sometimes with acrylic or elastane): Breathable, soft touch, easy to wear year-round. May relax slightly with wear; reshape while drying.
• Wool or Alpaca blends (typically 10–50%): Added warmth and natural insulation with a plush handfeel. Best cared for with wool-safe detergents and cool water. May have mild shedding initially.
• Acrylic/Polyester/Nylon blends: Lightweight warmth, colorfast, and durable with good shape retention. Easy-care but can pill with friction; use a sweater comb to de-pill as needed.
• Viscose/Rayon blends: Smooth, drapey handfeel. Handle gently when wet and always dry flat to maintain shape.
• Elastane/Spandex (1–5%): Adds stretch and recovery to help the rib return to shape.

Knit structure: The rib construction gives comfortable stretch and a close-but-flexible fit. The check motif is knitted into the fabric for clear pattern definition. Wash with like colors (especially with mustard/beige next to white) to avoid color transfer.

Model Notes

• Shown on a studio model to illustrate drape and proportion.
• Silhouette appears relaxed with a hip-length hem and full-length sleeves.
• Choose your usual size for a regular fit. Size up for a slouchy/oversized look or if layering over thicker shirts; size down for a neater fit.
• Refer to the size chart and on-model photos for additional context on length and sleeve coverage.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Wash: Turn inside out. Hand wash cold or machine wash on a delicate/wool cycle in a mesh bag with mild detergent. Wash with similar colors. Do not bleach.
• Dry: Do not wring. Gently squeeze out water or roll in a towel, then reshape and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid tumble drying.
• De-pilling: Pilling is normal for soft knits. Remove gently with a sweater comb or fabric shaver; avoid aggressive friction from bags or seatbelts.
• Iron/Steam: Steam lightly or iron on low with a pressing cloth to avoid flattening the rib texture.
• Storage: Fold rather than hang to prevent stretching. Store clean, in a cool, dry place. Use cedar or lavender to deter moths.
• Spot care: Blot stains gently; do not rub. Treat promptly according to fiber content (wool-safe products for wool blends).

Style Tips

• Color pairing: The mustard beige and white check pairs beautifully with denim (light to indigo), ecru, camel, chocolate, olive, charcoal, or black.
• Casual: Half-tuck into high-waisted straight jeans with white sneakers or lug-sole boots.
• Smart-casual: Wear with tailored wide-leg trousers and loafers; add a camel trench or wool coat.
• Feminine mix: Balance the check with a satin slip skirt or pleated midi and ankle boots.
• Layering: Pop a crisp white shirt or turtleneck underneath; finish with a scarf that picks up the mustard tone.
• Proportion play: For a modern silhouette, size up and pair with slim bottoms; or choose true-to-size with relaxed straight-leg pants.
