Skill level:
Intermediate – advanced.

Techniques used:
knit, purl, brioche knit (brk), brioche purl (brp), brioche increases and decreases, circular yoke shaping

Construction Notes:
This circular yoke pullover sweater is knit from the top down, starting with a two-color brioche neckband. After working this neckband, you will begin the circular yoke shaping, gradually growing from Small to Large Briornaments, adorned with Baby Briornaments, all surrounded by a two-color garter stitch background to really help the brioche to pop. After completing the Large Briornaments, the sleeves will be separated from the body to work the Giant Briornaments which are also adorned with Baby Briornaments. Stitches are increased dramatically when beginning the body to create an A-line look. The body of the sweater is finished with a decorative two-color brioche hem. The sleeves mimic the body exactly, and are also increased and decreased in the exact right place to give them a puffed effect. There is some slight sleeve shaping before beginning the cuff, which matches the hem of the sweater.

This sweater is perfect for layering over dresses with its slightly cropped silhouette. I also love styling it over jeans for a more casual look.
