“Spicy Sprinkles’’ is a a warm fall or winter sweater with a colourful touch worked in brioche stitch that reminds of pumpkin spice and beautiful autumn colours, resulting in a wonderfully soft and squishy fabric that’s both a show stopper and feels lovely against the skin.

The body of the sweater and the sleeves incorporate the stockinette stitch which knits up quickly, making this sweater easier to tackle even for the less experienced knitters.

Gauge is 24x26 sts in a 10x10 cm/4”x4” square, sizes S/M/L/XL/XXL/XXXL.
2.5mm/US 1.5 circular needles are needed for the brioche ribbing and yoke, while 4mm/US 6 circular needles are needed for the body and sleeves.
Measurements charts can be found above, among the images available.

The yarn used for the pictured garments is Hobbii Kind Feather, but more yarns that can substitute Kind Feather are suggested in the pattern.

The sweater is knitted seamlessly, bottom up and in the round.
