Worked in a classic boat-neck silhouette, this pullover uses a technique
known as “syncopated brioche” to alternate the dominant color of the two-color brioche rib, creating a colorblock effect. The bloused shape naturally narrows at the waist without any decreases by switching to a simple seeded rib for the lower torso. By using a top-down set-in sleeve technique, the color changes easily match up without seams.
