Notes
Rosehip and Heather is a boxy worn top down cardigan with a two colored brioche structured stripe main theme. It starts with the neck at the back part and at the same time working the shoulders by using short row shaping. After that the front neckline gots it shape and back and front part are worked separately. As soon as the sleeve width is reached front and back joining together and the body is worked with its striped brioche including some comfy pockets, if you want to. The edge ends with a 2x2 ribbing. After that go on to the sleeves to finish these with a 2x2 rib as well.
