Brioche Bubble Cardigan
DEGEN Collection | Fall 2022
Lindsay Degen of DEGEN puts the focus on fit proportion and vibrant color combinations in this playful collection for adults. Each garment or accessory explores a different technique -- including stripes, brioche, zigzags, and more.
/////
Holding together a strand of Alegria for body and a strand of Cabrito for luxurious warmth makes the Bubble Brioche Cardigan the ultimate in cozy. A clever shift from brioche to classic k1, p1 rib forms both the bell shape of the sleeve and the bubble shape of the body.

GAUGE
14 sts and 44 rows/rnds = 4”/10 cm in Brioche Stitch using larger needles with one strand of each yarn held together (see Notes for counting rows in pattern), after blocking.
NOTES
The upper back is worked from the top down to the underarms. After completing the back, stitches for each front are picked up along the back shoulder line and worked separately down to the underarms. The back and front stitches are joined for working the lower body in rows down to the lower edge. Stitches for each sleeve are picked up around the armhole opening and worked in the round down to the cuffs.
This project is worked with one strand of each yarn held together throughout.
