This classic pullover is an homage to coziness, featuring a generous cowl neck worked in squishy Brioche Stitch, a subtle A-line silhouette, doubled sleeve cuffs, and a Brioche Stitch yoke. The graphic Brioche columns spotlight the full-fashioned shaping details at the garment’s shoulders and neckline.” –Jared Flood CONSTRUCTION NOTES • Yarn is held double throughout; the term “working yarn” refers to two strands held together as one. • Body is worked circularly from the lower edge to the underarm point. Stitches are bound off for underarm, and then the front and back of the yoke are worked flat for the remainder of garment. • Sleeves are worked circularly from the lower edge to the underarm point. Stitches are bound off for underarm, then Sleeve caps are worked flat. • Cross-front is narrower than cross-back on Yoke. • Shoulders are seamed, then Sleeves set in. • Cowl is picked up directly from neckline and worked circularly. • When instructed to bind off, do so with a very loose tension. Due to Brioche Stitch’s tendency to spread widthwise, it is necessary to bind off very loosely so that the edge does not gather. • Because of the softly spun nature of this yarn, some knitters prefer to do their seaming with a firmly spun yarn, such as sock yarn, in a similar color; alternatively, you may add twist into the yarn (in the same direction as the yarn is plied) as you seam to add tensile strength.
