I happen to like the ribbings.
Does anyone leave them on when they make these?
I've never made any yet but I'm gearing up to make a few for fall and I guess I'm wanting reassurance. :-)
I was working on mine yesterday (guild project UFO) and I'm not cutting the ribbing off the bottom or sleeves...the ones the girls have been showing just don't hang right and are too big around the bottom...I'm putting a zipper down the front of mine too.
I think that with the ribbing it would need a zippered front. I don't see why you can't make it any way you want, afterall it's your creation. Being rather tall I don't like to have anything cut off because it usually makes things too short.
