Worked in plush brioche stitch, the vertical lines of this beautiful fabric create the base for architectural details that highlight the garment’s unique shaping elements. From a distance, the sweater reads as a classic everyday pullover; come closer and you’ll find smartly tailored shoulders and exquisite shaping details that make it feel special. Luxurious (and fun-to-work) knitted welts frame the sweater’s ribbed trims at cuff, hem and neckline, providing comfort and durability.

The pullover is knit seamlessly from the top down, allowing the knitter or wearer to try the garment on while it is in progress. This offers the great advantage of being able to customize the lengths of both Body and Sleeves to get the perfect fit/proportion that you are after. With interchangeable silhouette options, the pattern includes suggested lengths for semi-cropped or classic body lengths and for sleeveless, half- and long-sleeve variations. Instructions for an optional tapered body are included as well.
