O Brioche Cardigan
CONSTRUCTION
The cardigan is knitted seamlessly top down in brioche stitch. The yoke is worked with a shaping shoulder at the saddles then raglan increases. Once the yoke increases are finished, the sleeves are placed on hold while the body is worked downwards. After finishing the body, the yarn is rejoined to the sleeves and they are worked in the round until the cuff. Stitches for the collar are picked up along the neckline and worked in double knitting.
