beef, it’s what’s for dinner! whether you enjoy your meat rare, medium or well done, the sight of a slab of beef on a plate makes everyone’s mouth water! the pbkd bone in ribeye jockstrap pattern is the first release in 2023 of the lineup of “nut sweaters” from none other than PapaBear Knits and Designs.

pbkd bone in ribeye is based off previous patterns from PapaBear: pbkd tackle box, pbkd ride the rails, twisted mister, viper room, woodsman, business travel, the pride series, repetition, alignment and pollinator. the model samples are done in super soft, squishy 100% superwash merino and merino blends to showcase the broken rib stitch pattern on this classic looking jockstrap.

strongly recommend using the lifted increase method as it lends a professional look to the overall garment. the icord edging is perfect manner to slide elastic in, which ensures the meat stays on the plate, unless you want to release the bull and enjoy the show!
