Adam's Ribs long-sleeved wrap

Adam's Ribs is one of my favorite stitch patterns. It looks like a cable, but is really a wandering rib, and it's simple yet interesting to work ... plus it's completely reversible, and has such a pretty scalloped edge. I designed the stitch pattern a few years ago and am still finding new ways to use it ...

... like for this blanket-style wrap sweater with a drapey shawl collar and long slender sleeves.

As with my Adam's Ribs cap-sleeved wrap, the sweater is worked from side to side in an unusual construction.
It too uses short rows - the sleeve caps are worked seamlessly into the shoulders using short rows and short rows also shape the underarms.
Sleeves are worked in the round to the wrist.
