BriocheRings Sweater
Pictured in red is our lovely knitter Patsy's version. Eebie's version is the hot pink (of course) one and the long sleeve version. These modifications from the original pattern are included in the class.
The simple construction lends itself to relaxing knitting, perfect for your first brioche sweater adventure! Two-color brioche work keeps this design fun and flying off your needles.
It looks fabulous with jeans, skirts and layering over dresses. (This sweater’s cropped and loose fit allows it to be perfect for layering, but can be easily adjusted to longer lengths). It’s the perfect sweater for every day of the week!*
CONSTRUCTION
BriocheRings is a comfortable and relaxed sweater, worked seamlessly from the top down, with a circular yoke, alternating bands of two-color brioche stitch and stockinette stitch from collar to hem and requires minimal finishing.
Starting at the neckline, short rows are worked back and forth to create a higher back neck and then the deep yoke is worked down to the sleeve separation. The sleeve stitches are then placed on hold, underarm stitches are cast on and the rest of the body is worked. The little puffy sleeves are also worked top down to the cuffs.
BriocheRings is perfect for your knit night or for a spot of TV knitting. The sweater is designed to fit with a lots of positive ease. If you want your sweater to have a closer fit, you can knit a smaller size. Adjust the length of the sleeves and the body easily to fit your personal style (perfect try-on-as-you knit sweater).
Knitted top down it is easy to adjust the length of the body and sleeves to match your preference. (there are options for either long or short sleeves included in the pattern; make sure you check the suggested yardage for the version you prefer, as the long sleeve version will require more yarn. The body length is easily customizable, but changing it will also affect the yardage, so please keep that in mind).
